UP: Mistaking Toilet Painted In Saffron As Temple, People Offer Prayers For Over A Year

In Uttar Pradesh, a toilet painted in saffron colour in the Maudaha village of the district was mistaken to be a temple by the residents.

@goldenarcher @ikaveri

Serves fools who think saffron is holy, right!

My son, as a 4-year old, once prayed to a hand pump inside the RK Puram Ayyappa temple. He was merely following his mom, who was praying to each deity!

He got many indulgent smiles that day!

Today, the wife continues to be a staunch believer, I continue to be agnostic, while junior has turned atheist. We are a reasonably happy family!!

@NSure @goldenarcher interesting. Believers can be thought of as children who unquestionly imitate.

@ikaveri @goldenarcher Indeed! As long as they don't take up weapons! The moment they do that, they've crossed over to the devil!

BTW, my story is real! Challenged nearly 20 years ago, junior is now a strapping lad of 23!! 😊
