Widows during the prayers in the main room of the Sri Bagwan Ashram in Vrindavan. Most of the widows still wear White saris, even though I met a few who refused to do so and kept wearing colored one, a minority though.
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..
