Gaya: As the temperature continues to rise, ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) temple in Gaya has installed fans and ACs to protect the deities from heat.

Jagdish Shyam Das, President of the temple said, "The situation of Gaya in the summer season is famous in the world…. (Therefore) we have installed fans and ACs for gods and goddesses here. The idols of deities near which they are installed include goddess Radha, lord Krishna, lord Jagannath."

Das further said that fans and ACs have been installed here by the devotees. 

"It is observed that Bhog is offered to the deities, in return for Prasad. Similarly, it is a matter of emotion. God is not hungry for anything but is connected to the people via emotion,” he added.
