Young man jumped into ‘big cauldron’ for money
In Ajmer Dargah, ‘Badi Degh’ is used for cooking food for the devotees. Up to 4,800 kg of food can be cooked at a time in this huge vessel. When the cauldron is empty, many devotees put money and jewelery in it as a votive offering. It is believed that the young man had jumped into the cauldron to collect this money.
As soon as the young man jumped into the cauldron, some employees of the Dargah also followed him. They started beating the young man inside and then pulled him upstairs. The crowd present outside also thrashed the young man. However, some people also claim that the mental condition of the young man was not good.

Who needs money? To God or to the priests?
After this video went viral, a debate broke out on social media. Some people condemned the incident, saying that so much violence was not appropriate in a place known for spirituality and charity. People raised the question that even if the young man did this for money, he could have been allowed to go by paying some money. At the same time, some people said that nowadays religious places have become just a source of income for some people. One user wrote, “You should stop giving money in temples, mosques and dargahs because God does not need money.” Another wrote, “Priests need money, not God. Temples, dargahs and churches are all the same.”
