Beware of Scammers at Kashi Vishwanath temple



 Kashi Vishvanath Temple is one of the oldest and holiest temples in India. Thousands of devotees flock to this temple every year to seek blessings and pay homage to Lord Shiva. Unfortunately, not everyone who visits this holy place has noble intentions. Over the years, several scams have been reported in and around the temple, and unsuspecting visitors have fallen prey to them.


One of the most common scams is the offering of prasad or holy food. Several individuals approach devotees outside the temple premises and offer prasad, claiming it to be from the temple. However, these individuals often charge exorbitant amounts for the prasad, which is often stale or of low quality. Many visitors have reported falling ill after consuming such prasad.


Another common scam is the unauthorized priests. Many fake priests loiter around the temple, offering to perform puja or religious rituals for visitors. They often demand excessive fees and perform incomplete or inadequate rituals. Such priests are not authorized by the temple authorities and can lead to loss of money and time.
Visitors must also be wary of fake guides who offer to take them on temple tours. These guides are often unlicensed and mislead visitors, claiming that they have access to special parts of the temple. They then proceed to charge exorbitant fees for their services, leading to disappointment and frustration for visitors.


In addition, many individuals claiming to be representatives of the temple administration or trusts approach devotees, requesting donations for various causes. It is crucial to verify the authenticity of such individuals and the legitimacy of their claims before making any donations.
It is important to be vigilant and aware of these scams while visiting the Kashi Vishvanath Temple. Devotees should only purchase prasad from authorized stalls within the temple premises and verify the authenticity of priests and guides. Additionally, visitors must be cautious when approached by individuals seeking donations. By remaining cautious and informed, devotees can avoid falling victim to these scams and enjoy a peaceful and meaningful visit to the holy temple.

The Serbian Dancing Lady: A Real-Life Horror Story

 As I sit here at my computer, researching for my horror blog, I can't help but think about the ghost that haunts my own house. I often catch glimpses of her out of the corner of my eye, and sometimes I even hear her whispering in my ear. It's terrifying, but it's also a source of inspiration for my work. Recently, I stumbled upon a video of a Russian dancing lady, and something about her movements reminded me of the ghost in my own home. The way she moved with such fluidity and grace was both beautiful and unsettling, and it gave me an idea for my next blog post. I decided to delve deeper into the world of Russian dance, and what I found was truly haunting. Many of the dances were based on pagan rituals, and some were said to be used to summon spirits. As I watched video after video, I began to feel a sense of unease. It was as if the dancing was drawing me in, tempting me to become a part of it. And then, out of nowhere, I saw her. The Russian dancing lady. Except this ti...

It is a remarkable feat of engineering, running thousands of trains every day, ferrying millions of passengers to their destinations.
