“The department of posts and Kashi Vishwanath temple trust have entered an agreement for delivery of prasad during Sawan. The ”prasaad” will be delivered by speed post,” director in Department of Posts, Lucknow circle, Krishna Kumar Yadav, said.
The facility will be available in districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
To get the prasad , one has to send electronic money order ( EMO) of Rs 251 from any post office to senior superintendent of Posts Offices, Varanasi east division, and on the third day the ”prasad” from Kashi Vishwanath temple will be delivered by speed post, he said.
