Hindu worshippers in India throng ‘visa temple’ to pray for successful path to the US
Indian devotees believe the Chilkur Balaji temple in the southern city of Hyderabad has been particularly effective in blessing people with a successful US visa application, so much so that it is locally known as the “visa temple”.
More than 1,000 Hindu worshippers visit the temple every day for a chance to live the American dream, chanting the visa god’s name “Govinda” while circling the temple.
