For a week, I visited the Sri Bagwan Bhajan Ashram in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. The place is very well known being the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Many pilgrims from the world over come to visit this place and nowadays the Ashram is on the touristic tour. Pilgrims do visit this Ashram where over 2000 widows are being helped. To be helped though they need to pray. They get a token every time they attend the prayer room to sing Bhajan Kritan, giving them the right to a free meal..

Prayer
An offering at the start of the prayers in front of an Altar. I asked Radha Radhi Mishre, a 53 years old widow from Calcutta if the young girl on the left was also a widow, she answered : "No, she is only a destitute". I was surprised by her sttrong faith during the singings.
