A Temple of the Visa to America was organized in India (5 photos)
The conditions for Indians to obtain a US visa have become more severe (this is a consistent policy of Trump). And the local population reacted in a very... Indian way! They organized an altar and found a temple that will definitely help them get a visa.
Every self-respecting city in India has a sacred tree
What kind of god is this - the GOD OF THE US VISA
This is Hanuman, one of the most beloved Hindu deities. He has a monkey-like appearance (he also looks a bit like Sun Wukong, the Chinese monkey king), and he is very actively worshiped in the city of Ahmedabad. So the local temple very quickly became the temple of Visa - people called it "Visa Hanuman".
How to get God's help? You need to give your passport to the priest so that he can put it on the altar and read religious hymns in honor of Hanuman. Priests only feed superstitious visitors (they are supposed to, they are priests).
Passport for Visa should be put here
"It's all about faith. If you believe, it will happen. "If doubts creep in, disappointment sets in," said the temple attendant.
He also tells pilgrims that believers received approval within hours of performing the rituals. And this is even after numerous refusals.
The pilgrims themselves were also given the task of walking around the altar barefoot 108 times to show the strength of their aspiration.
I know, I've advised it two hundred times already, but watch PK, I've never seen anything more ironic about the Hindu desire to believe
Some of them came from other states, convinced of the temple's reputation in the matter of obtaining visas. At the same time, engineers and all sorts of specialists usually want to get a visa to the USA in the hope that they will get a job in their profession with a higher salary. That is, people with an education, but they still go to the Temples of Visa.
Why do Indians go to America
By the way, Indians asked the monkey god to protect Trump after the assassination attempt. As you can see - IT HELPED
And why did our compatriots dream of moving to the USA in the 90s? They see it as the only chance to significantly improve their standard of living, to receive much higher salaries for the same knowledge they received in their country.
Moreover, this is exactly what happened to some specialists, there are quite a lot of working Indians in America. Previously, about two thirds of the participants in the programmer visa program came from India, so this is a long-standing social elevator.
But there is a second big argument: they are running away from the caste system. Not everyone is happy with their caste, unless you were born into a privileged class of society.
It is such a paradox that the smarter you become during your studies, the more acutely you see the injustice of society towards you.
And this is the Chilkur temple, it was the temple for obtaining a visa last year. Tastes change
And yet, how strangely the Hindus combine the desire to believe that any problem should be solved by praying to the right deity, and at the same time a decent level of education. Nowhere does the picture of the world crack.
Or would you also go and light a candle in a church to get a green card, for example? It seems to me that God should not decide such things.
