Jharkhand: Couples Congregate Outside Old Temple, Pray for Girl Child

Dozens of Couples queued for hours outside a 170-year-old temple in Jharkhand, praying to be blessed with a daughter. Every year people from distant places come to this remote temple to offer prayers to a 150-year-old pot and to Siddhidatri Durga, who is believed to bless the couples with a girl child. The flow of devotees remain throughout the year with an increase during Navratri.
