A man in India's central Shajapur district built a temple in memory of his wife who died due to COVID-19, to immortalise his love for her.
Narayan Singh Rathore's wife, Geeta died of COVID-19 in the second wave of the pandemic in the district's Sanpkheda village. He then decided to build a monument of her remembrance, in the adjoining complex of his house.
The memorial temple makes him and his family feel Geeta's presence, and her blessings showering over his family all the time said Rathore.
Hundreds of thousands of people died during the deadly second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic across India that had overwhelmed hospitals and crematoriums.
As of Monday, India's total COVID-19 cases had reached 33.68 million, with the death toll at 447,194, according to health ministry data. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
