Against the background of a raging pandemic and a steadily growing number of patients with COVID-19 in southern India, the goddess of coronavirus began to worship.
“Lenta.ru” writes that the temple that worshiped the “Crown of Devi” – the goddess of Coronavirus, appeared in the city of Coimbator, where over one and a half million people live. Priests every day pray to the virus deity, asking for a mercy.
The temple manager told reporters that in Hinduism every deity has its own “profession.” “Due to the fact that Coronavirus leads to the spread of the disease, we worship the virus as a goddess and pray for her every day that the disease be less severe and stopped spreading,” the man told.
The number of cases of COVID-19 in India grows from mid-February due to the spread of a new variety of coronavirus. According to the number of lethal exodues, the country came out in the third place in the world: over 300 thousand people died from the virus.
