New Delhi: The ground staff at Agra’s district hospital found itself in a perplex situation on Friday, when a priest brought in a broken lord Krishna murti and insisted on to tend to the idol.
A video of the crying priest with an idol of Laddu Gopal’, the childhood form of the deity, with a broken arm has been doing rounds on the internet.
As per some eye-witnesses, the priest reached the hospital at around 9’o clock in the morning. Priest Lekh Pal said that he broke the idol while giving it a bath.
“When I was praying in the morning and giving bath to the idol of the lord, the idol slipped and its arm was broken,” he said.
“I was deeply moved because I am attached with the god. In my desperation, I went to district hospital to get it treated,” he added.
