When disasters strike whether in the form of terror attacks or stock market crash its only the almighty that people look up to for solace. And there is no better way of knowing what the gods have in store than going to astrologer.
"Nowadays, not only business class or celebrities but even people who earn far less come to know the fate. They take it as a one-time investment. The trend has seen increase from last year after mayhem at the bourses and terror attacks," says numerologist Neeraj Mancchanda.
The feeling of insecurity after global meltdown and number of terror attacks has resulted in the surge in the increased demand of priests, astrologers or numerologists, say fortune tellers.
Usually every year-end is good for business and there is increase in number of visitors to his office, Mancchanda says, "This year it is more than expected. And most of them are concerned about monetary gains. People who have lost money in stock market are coming in numbers." Ram Pandey, a priest, brandishes his hi-tech mobile phone and minces no words in suggesting his clients to seek blessings of the almighty to keep evil forces at bay.
Pandey, who hails from a small town in Bihar, says that the first day of every new year brings good money from his regular clients. The offerings on the first day of the year ranges from Rs 101 - 5000 depending upon the economic condition of the client, he adds.
Psychiatrist Samir Parikh says that the last year 'market blues' have contributed alot in people visiting to sacred places or psychiatrists.
