Puja at Bachchan Temple for star’s quick recovery

Monday, 13 July 2020 | Saugar Sengupta | Kolkata

True, love, veneration and agony know no logic. With entire India uniting in prayers for early recovery of superstar Amitabh Bachchan and his family members from corona, fans, nay his “devotees”, have started special prayers accompanied by Mahamrityunjay Jaap in this unique temple —arguably the only one in the whole universe — dedicated in the name of what they call “Jay Shri Amitabh.”

Cut to Sridhar Roy Road at Tiljala area of Kolkata where Sanjay Patodia has converted a part of his palatial mansion into a dedicated temple of the Big B whom he worships as the living “God of the Kalyuga.” The family skipped its dinner on Saturday night after learning about Bacchhan’s illness. “Ever since we learnt that Bachchan has corona we have started a special puja,” said a woman.
