Another incident of communal harmony was from Aurangabad where a procession was carried out to celebrate Ram Navami - Hindus were celebrating the auspicious day when they crossed a mosque. In a video shared on Twitter by Bilal Jaleel, a man was heard announcing that the DJ will be paused for about two minutes because the group was crossing a mosque.
The man had announced, "We are turning the DJ off for 2 minutes. After we are done crossing the mosque, the DJ will continue to play. All of us have our respective religious sentiments. So, to respect all religions, we will play the DJ after crossing the mosque."
Here is why #Maharashtra is special. This is my hometown, Aurangabad where this group celebrating Ram Navami, announced that the DJ will stop when we cross the mosque.
