Birla Temple

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday offered prayers at Shri Laxmi Narayan Temple, also known as Birla Mandir in the national capital, on the occasion of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

The Sai Baba temple in Karnataka was closed due to a solar eclipse on Thursday. The devotees sang "Hanuman Chalisa" inside the temple premises before the eclipse.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday said legislatures are temples of democracy where issues related to people are raised and they should not be reduced to arenas of political slugfest.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today asked members to improve the quality of their questions, soon after a query was raised about renovation and construction of an approach road to a local temple in Madhya Pradesh.

A strong opposition is of great importance in a "vibrant democracy", Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said today, adding that he was all for ensuring that its voice was heard in the house. Hisassurance comes amid allegations that the centre was steamrolling bills through both houses of parliament without taking the opposition into confidence.

In all of the desolate, dreary corners of Varanasi, of which there are many, the worst are occupied by a community of women who everyone seems to have forgotten about. The widows of Varanasi may be 38,000 in number but they seem to have all got lost in the narrow lanes of the city.

Delhiites on Monday celebrated Janmashtami, which marks the birth of Lord Krishna.

The capital today revelled in the spirit of Janmashtami, the birthday of Lord Krishna, as devotees, unperturbed by the humid weather, fasted, feasted and prayed at several brightly decked-up temples to mark the festivities.

As Maharashtra grapples with severe drought, citizens across the state are donating generously to the Chief Minister's relief fund. Rs. 116 crore has been collected so far from citizens and organisations.
