Dogs Offer Prayers at Hindu Temple

It may seem weird but its true. In Buxar town, about 125 km from Patna city in Bihar state of India, here is a "Kali Temple" where dozens of dogs have since 1965 been religiously queuing up twice a day outside the temple - just in time for the daily ritual services.

Dogs religiously join morning & evening prayers & as per one devotee, Mahavir Singh: "At the time of prayers in the temple when devotees perform different rituals, blowing a conch or chanting hymns, dozens of dogs join by barking with their heads up."

"These dogs have been joining the prayers without a miss ever since 1965 when the temple came up," he added.

These stray dogs visit the temple in the morning and in the evening just before the "Artis" ( religious prayer). They are also given "Prasad" ( remnants of offerings made to the Deity) by the devotees.
