Shiv Sena leader compares 'Azaan' with 'Maha-Aarti' | Hoonkar

"I live next to the Bada Kabrastan at Marine Lines... I get to hear the 'Azaan' daily and I find it very amazing and pleasing. Whoever hears it once, eagerly awaits the next round of 'Azaan'. This gave me an idea to organise the competition," Sakpal said. 

He said that the 'Azaan' lasts barely 5 minutes, it is as important as a 'Maha-Aarti', symbolising peace and love and castigated attempts to give it a communal colour.
