A gold mask of 20 gms made for an Idol of the Goddess at Kolkata

Goddess made to hold items used for sanitisation! 

The pretext of creating awareness about Coronavirus

Editorial comments

• It shows the lack of education on Dharma amongst Hindus! Hindus are ignorant of the significance of Deities’ Idols, leading to denigration as Hindus think at an intellectual level and try to personify Deities ! 
• Why make use of Deities when there are several alternatives available to create awareness about Coronavirus ? Devout Hindus need to lawfully oppose such things.
• Christians or Muslims never make use of their seats of worship in such a manner. Hindus can learn at least such things from them.

1. It is claimed to be a method of creating awareness amongst people about the importance of health and safety during these Corona times.
2. Trinamool Congress MLA and Bengali singer Aditi Munshi have said that people should not look at the gold mask as an ornament. We are not fools to make this 20 gms mask. We have done it to make people conscious of the Corona pandemic.
