In this age of adoption of technology, priests too do not seem to want to lag behind.
This was evident from the fact that instead of reciting Slokas from scriptures, priests chanted the hymns from laptops at a Viswa Shanti Yajna at a Shiva temple in Rameswar of Puri district on Sunday.
A priest said that while performing a Puja, it is time consuming to find the pages in scriptures. A smartphone or a tab makes priests’ job easy in performing a religious ceremony better, he added.
Expressing similar views, another priest said a Puja can be conducted in a better way by adopting technology.
