A 600-year-old Hindu temple in Rajasthan has a Muslim priest; a family that came from Sindh has been serving a Hindu goddess for 14 generations: The story of Jodhpur’s Bagoria Mataji Mandir

For fourteen generations, a Muslim family has upheld a remarkable tradition by serving at the Bagoria Mata temple.

The recent passing of priest Jamaluddin Khan underscores the significance of this enduring legacy.
