Dehriyawan Village (Uttar Pradesh), Aug.31 (ANI): Dehriyawan village in Uttar Pradesh's Faizabad district has one temple and mosque located adjacent to each other. And, the villagers visit them together.
Hindu and Muslim villagers participate in each other's festivals and have never allowed communal strife elsewhere to affect them.he village mosque and temple enable both communities to mingle prior to or after their prayers.
Brijesh Yadav, a student, said that most of the residents pray at both the temple and the mosque, and even celebrate each other's festivals.
"As you can see that the temple and the mosque have been constructed side by side. Nobody gets into an argument here. We celebrate their festivals, they celebrate ours. Whenever we want, we worship in our temple as well as mosque. We have been studying since childhood that there is only one God and we all are his children. So as this temple and mosque show that there is no distance between them, likewise there should be no distance between all of us. The biggest example is shown here in Dehriyawan," said Yadav.
"We do not differentiate between a Hindu and a Muslim. In all festivals, marriages we visit each other. Any conflict between some other temple and mosque does not affect the harmony here in Dehriyawan," said Mohammad Haji Waseem, a local resident.
The mosque was constructed in 1970 and the temple was built soon after. By Amit (ANI)
