GUWAHATI: The 'Shivling' at Prahladeshwar temple have been covered with a mask and posters have been put up in temple appealing devotees to not touch the idols.
The temple priest said,"Coronavirus has spread across the country. We have put a mask on Lord Vishwanath to raise awareness about coronavirus. Just like we put clothes on the idols when it is cold and put ACs or fans when it's hot, we have put masks on the deities."
A devotee says,"We are urging people not to touch the idols. If idols are touched, coronavirus will spread & infect more people."
