Virtual prayers at Kashi-Vishwanath temple

The Internet bug has caught one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in India - the Kashi-Vishwanath temple in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. Devotees can now offer prayers at the temple from their homes through a website created by the temple committee.

"You need not undertake a long tedious journey to Varanasi to seek the blessings of Lord Vishwanath. It would now be possible for devotees sitting even thousands of miles away to offer prayers before the deity with just a click of the mouse," Varanasi Divisional Commissioner Nitin Gokaran told IANS.

Gokaran formally inaugurated the website with the prayer facility Wednesday.
