A Solar Lantern lights up the village temple!

Priest with the Solar Lantern

Thanks to the generous donation of a Solar Lantern by Alexa and the efforts of The Restoring Force, the only temple in Munj Ka Pura, a village in Rajasthan, has been lit up. When the TRF team approached the village for installation of Solar Lanterns the people requested that the Temple also be lit up. As the monthly income of the villagers is not sufficient to meet their own needs, people did not have enough to contribute to the temple. The priest stays in the temple and lives on the offerings made by the villagers. The temple has an oil lamp which he lights in the morning but in the evening the Temple is completely dark. With the donation of the Solar Lamp the Temple is lit up all evening and the entire village is excited about it as they can now come in the evening and sing Bhajans on special occasions.
