Permanent Devotee Number !

Devotees of Lord Ganesha, at the famed Siddhivinayak temple in Bombay, will now be able to avoid long serpentine queues and be able to get a darshan, after registering electronically-stored fingerprint impressions and acquiring a permanent devotee number (PDN) !

An exceprt...

Under the Siddhivinayak scheme, a devotee is expected to get his finger prints scanned and register with the temple trust. The system will not give any room for discrimination between the general public and a VIP.

Interesting...as for the non-discrimination part, we shall have to wait and watch...
