Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], April 21 (ANI): Owing to the spike in COVID-19 cases, the Tapovan and the Mahavir temples in Ranchi wore a deserted look on the Hindu festival of Ram Navami on Wednesday.
"Fewer people are stepping out," said SN Nirala, a devotee.
"I am praying to god to free the nation from this pandemic," he said, hoping that "people would be able to celebrate Ram Navami with great enthusiasm next year."
Prior to this pandemic, Ranchi used to witness huge processions on Ram Navami.
