vIndianz.com (10 Feb, 2010) — Chennai: Starry eyed Valentine Day couples exchanging flowers, cards and gifts on February 14 can soon seek divine blessings at a temple exclusively being built for them at an obscure village 90 km from Chennai, with its main deity being Lord Krishna, the symbol of eternal love.
The temple, a brainchild of R Jaganaath of Chennai-based Gokulalakhsmi Trust, is coming up at Sholinger in Vellore district and is expected to be ready in about two months.
“Lord Krishna is believed to have had about 16,000 wives and every day was Valentine?s Day for him. My intention in building it is to mix devotion with love. It can be Krishna’s love for his devotees and their love for him,” Jagannath told Indian news agency Press Trust of India.
Lord Krishna, with his sweetheart Radha will now literally get into his new avatar of the God of Love, he says.
