Collected donations, prayed for safety
The peculiar move comes amid the second wave of coronavirus pandemic taking lives of thousands of people. The temple took shape after some villagers collected donations for it. They prayed to the idol of 'Corona Mata' and sought safety for people in Shuklapur and adjoining areas, according to a report in Times of India.
The villagers at the temple are also asking people to follow COVID guidelines like wearing mask and maintain social distancing. A white idol named 'Corona Mata' has also been placed at the temple. The idol also wears a mask.

"After the deadly coronavirus wreaked havoc and snatched thousands of lives, we decided to set up 'Corona Mata' temple under a neem tree with a belief that praying to the deity would offer relief to the people from the deadly virus," the report quoted a villager as saying.
Daily prayers help for safety
Villagers are now holding daily prayers at the temple and seeking blessings from the deity to provide safety to people. "As we had 'Chechak Mata' (smallpox mother) temple, we have now set up 'Corona Mata' temple believing that corona deity will ameliorate all our difficulties. So we collected donations from villagers and build the temple," said Radhe Shyam, the temple priest.
The priest said this was not the first time that such a temple has come up in the country. "In the past too, temples were built like that of 'Chechak Mata' when deadly diseases like plagues and smallpox struck," he said.
