Report from Augurnath Temple in Meerut, where the ancient city's spiritual serenity belies the political frenzy ahead of April 26 polls, the second phase of polling.
The BJP has fielded Ramayan star Arun Govil, while the BSP and SP bank on Devvrat Tyagi and Sunita Verma's local connect.
As devotees offer prayers, Meerut's triangular contest mirrors the clash of star power, grassroots politics and ideological differences.
Amidst the sacred atmosphere, the city's voters prepare to shape the region's future through their democratic choice.
