In Photos: Kota's Wall Of Prayers

A wall at Radha Krishna Mandir in Rajasthan's Kota, the nation's coaching centre hub, has turned into a Wall of Prayers. Students aspiring to be engineers and doctors turn to the wall to write their aspirations, hopes, prayers, and fears, often with the relief of anonymity. For a town plagued by suicides of students, who study under stress of entrance exams and pressure from peers and families, the Wall of Prayers can very well be part of their coping mechanism, like a diary in the premises of the Gods.
