[Guest guest]

Muslim bridegroom seeks Hanuman's blessings for his marriage

Mathura, Nov 14 : A Muslim bridegroom in this birthplace of Lord

Krishna sought the blessings of Hindu deities on way to his wedding

here last night.

 

Sher Khan, a vendor with Indian Railway Catering and Tourist

Corporation (IRCTC) Ltd., climbed down from his horse, to pray

before Lord Hanuman and Goddess Durga at a temple, while going for

the 'Nikah' ceremony.

 

In the past, the 28-year-old has travelled to many Hindu pilgrim

sites including Goddess Jwala shrine in Himachal Pradesh, Vaishno

Devi, Nagarkot, Chamunda and Karaulli Devi temples.

 

Sher Khan, however has one regret, his inability to offer namaz five

times daily due to a busy schedule. ''I only manage to offer the

namaz five times on festive occasions,'' he said.

 

However, he is sure that the blessings of Hindu gods and goddesses

as well as Allah will result in a properous married life.
