thank you for giving light to this type of bad custom.

2010-06-14T22:17:15.708+01:00

And that is a awful custom.. When I googled the topic of child prostitution, this is one of the pages that came up.. marrying little girls away to Gods...and most of the time, they are merely meant to serve the 'needs' of the temple priests themselves. Its so disgusting!!!!

Anju: Thanks Sis :)

Bedlam: Thanks dear :)

CB: Thanks dear :)

Tavish: Thanks :)

Shilpa: Thanks dear :)

Aparna: In olden ages, devadasis had a different place in society, a one of honour and respect..things have changed in the past century and now it is that either they become beggars or turn to prostitution.

Sonali: Sure will let you know...

Ritu: So agree with you..
