New Delhi: Priests at the Brahma temple in Pushkar performed a 'Sadbuddhi' yagna (fire ritual) for Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai on Sunday and washed the temple with 'Gangajal' to purify the premises after her visit.
The purification ritual was performed after it was discovered that the three security guards who accompanied Rai inside the temple were 'drunk'. The security men had also got into a small scuffle with journalists as the doe-eyed actress was leaving the temple premises.
While Rai denied the allegations, saying there was no truth to them, the Priests Association decided to conduct the 'purification' ceremony at the temple and the ritual was done by the association president Laddoo Ram Sharma himself. The priests also performed a 'Sadbuddhi Yagna' for her.
The association has also called for an apology from the Bollywood star, saying that their protest will continue till she tenders an apology. "We will hold a meeting of the association soon to discuss the future course of action," Sharma told PTI.
The Brahma temple of Pushkar is the only temple dedicated to Brahma in the world. During her visit to Pushkar, Rai also paid obeisance at the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah.
The priests are also 'disappointed' with the former Miss World by the way she performed puja at the Brahma temple, 'ignoring' to pay a visit to the sacred 'Pushkar Sarovar'.
