NEW DELHI: A Sikh temple in India opened its doors to Muslims for Eidul Azha prayer on Saturday after a ground submerged with rainwater, Hindustan Times reported.
Muslims had gathered at a local ground in state of Uttarakhand in large numbers to offer prayers on the occasion of Eidul Azha but could not proceed due to incessant overnight rains.
This is when Gurudwara Singh Sabha stepped in and welcomed them to the Gurudwara.
“Be it Hindus, Sikhs or Muslims we have a strong bonding in Joshimath. The senior management from the Gurudwara sahib and the Muslim community held a short meeting on Saturday morning and made quick arrangements for the prayers,” Buta Singh, manager, Shri Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, told Hindustan Times on phone.
More than 500 Muslims offered Namaaz in the retiring hall of the gurdwara, he said.
