Huge fire in ISKCON Kolkata (Albert Road Temple)

The Deities have been moved. The room behind the altar which had Deity dresses has burnt to ashes. Deity dressing area at Kolkata ISKCON temple, behind the Deities, caught up the huge fire, probably due to some electrical short circuit. All the Deity dresses were kept there, all of those dresses burnt out in a matter of minutes. Their Lordships had to be taken out from the altar for protection.
The fire brigade had come on time and doused the fire. All the brahmacharis are safe.
Let’s pray for our beloved Kolkata Temple.
