Darsait
in Islamic Sultanate of Oman is the site of a famous Sri Krishna temple
supported by the family headed presently by Shri Kanaksi Khimji of the
Khimji Ramdas Group. The Khimjis are citizens of Oman and remain
staunch vegetarians and devotees of Shrinathji with roots
in Gujarat. Shri Khimji's grandfather came to Oman in 1870 and the
family has had close a and mutually respectful relationship with the
ruling family.
Regular worship
is offered along with chappan bhog for Lord Krishna at the temple and
all major festivals are celebrated at the temple which is frequented in
thousands by expat Indians working in Muscat. The Sultan's family is as
committed to Islam as it is known for its religious tolerance to all
subjects.
Jayant Vyas, a
priest at the Krishna Temple, Muscat, has been quoted in media reports
saying that “During the Babri Masjid riots in India, the Sultan
personally ordered his guard to protect the (Shri Krishna) temple. He
told us not to fear any attacks and to continue with our pujas.”
May Shri Krishna bless the Sultan and his family for his love for all his subjects
