Devotion beyond religion: Rajkot man bridges faiths through fasting
Rajkot: For Ahesan Chauhan, a 52-year-old choreographer from Rajkot, devotion knows no boundaries. A Muslim by birth, he has been fasting in both Shravan and Ramadan for the past 34 years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During Shravan, he not only fasts but also visits the Mahadev temple every morning, offering prayers and performing rituals with the same sincerity as Hindu devotees. Later in the day, he offers prayers at the Dargah, seamlessly embodying harmony between the two faiths. "The first time I heard the name Mahadev was when I was in the fifth standard," recalls Ahesan. "My friends would invoke Mahadev's name before sharing their lunch boxes. I joined them, and soon I was doing the same. Later, during Shravan, our teachers were fasting, and one of them told me about this God." Growing up in Rajkot's Jagnath area, surrounded by Hindu neighbours, young Ahesan's curiosity about different faiths grew. He would often ask his friends and neighbours about their Gods and Goddesses. As a child, Ahesan concluded that Mahadev must be the 'super God' and began fasting during school days. "Ishwariya Mahadev Temple was outside the city back then and considered a picnic spot," Ahesan recalls. "As students, we would cycle there, and that's how my connection with the temple began. Aehsan has also completed Umrah in Mecca twice, in 2014 and 2023. "When I was 18, I made a wish to Mahadev — if my friend's sister found a suitable life partner, I would walk to the temple as an offering of gratitude. Within a few days, the wish was fulfilled, and I kept my promise. Since then, I have continued walking to the temple, especially during Shravan, covering nearly 12 km every day from my home," he said. Ahesan says he has always been welcomed in Mahadev temples. "Even at home, there were no objections. My parents supported me, and in my early days, my elder sister even joined me in observing Shravan fasts.

On Camera, 100-Feet Tazia Collapses During Muharram Procession In UP
Lucknow: A 100-feet-high Tazia - a miniature replica of the tomb of Imam Hussain - collapsed during a Muharram procession in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri on Sunday. The incident, which was caught on CCTV, took place when Tazia was being assembled and lifted. It, however, lost balance and fell on an 11,000-volt power line, sparking panic among thousands of people who had gathered for the procession. No one was injured as the electricity supply was cut off. The video shows three towering Tazias, about 100 feet tall, which are often made of bamboo and adorned with vibrant, colourful paper and fabrics, during the religious procession. One of them, however, suddenly starts tilting and eventually collapsing, breaking apart as it falls. Muharram is the second sacred month in the Islamic calendar after Ramadan. It marks the beginning of the Islamic lunar new year. This year, it commenced on June 27, initiating 10 days of mourning for Muslims. This period commemorates the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the son of Hazrat Ali and grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who died in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. The period of mourning reaches its zenith with Ashura, when Shia Muslims partake in processions, carrying Tazia.
