"Is he a ghost? Yes! Don't speak loud, he'll wake up": How a spirit found a place in my Pooja Room and became our God
In a village pooja room, a Brahmin family worshipped not only deities but also a guardian spirit, Ranga Dhari, and a local Sufi saint, Pir Baba. This layered faith, blending Hindu and Sufi traditions, reflected a deep connection to land, family, and protection, where a 'ghost' was revered as a protector. The sacred space held history and inheritance, not contradiction.
