Rs 11 to get 'certified' free of sins in temple!

A Shiva temple in Pratapgarh district is in news for quite an interesting reason. This temple offers a `paapmukti' or cleansing of sins certificate to anyone who takes a dip in its water and pays Rs 11. The temple claims to have maintained a record since Independence of all those who bathed in its holy waters and got certified. A body of priests charges Re 1 for each certificate, while Rs 10 is for removal of obstacles of the devotees. It is quite amusing to see people believe in such things in this day and age.
