Still young girls are worshipped in Hindu families in Navratras which occur twice a year. Many elders even in the present hedonistic age do not eat food cooked by the girls, who are virgin and unmarried. The father of the writer of this book even did not accept water offered by a virgin girl. Though such a situation did not and, still does not exist in many countries. In India also people, in the present hedonistic age, do not believe in such dogmatism.
