The college temple was built by the Indore Durbar and was funded by His Highness Charkhari. His Highness the Maharaja of Udaipur gave the "Murtis" for the temples. It was opened in 28 August 1910.
Temple means ‘House of Gods’, as the name suggests the place of silence, meditation, etc. The temple of DC was built 80 years ago in the Malwa style. The beautiful idol of Radha –Krishna over whelms the eye.
The temple is looked after, by pujari Ram Kishore Pandey and Sahej Ram.
Along with the idol, the temple has metallic bells hanging from the ceiling. The infrastructure is like that of an ordinary temple, with a pointed peak. The steps give way to the entrance and running along the edges is a narrow path. It has a Tulsi plant along with a shady Peepal tree. The temple has lovely tiles with painted poses of Lord Ganesh. It has another small exquisite temple of Lord Shiva.
The temple is open everyday in the morning as well as in the evening. On festivals and special occasions, functions are organized in the temple. The students can do there to pray.
The College works department or C.W.D. provides help during such functions by providing electricity, etc. We also celebrate Shivaratri, Durga Puja, Basant Panchmi etc.
The School Temple has played an important role in the complete establishment of Daly College. ‘A temple with a school is like a heaven’ because students of all religion visit it daily.
Mosque
The College Mosque was built by Her Highness the Begum of Bhopal and was opened on 19 December 1910.
The College Mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings in our school campus.
It is located in the northern side of the campus and faces the west. It is very beautifully designed with very good interiors. The top of the Mosque has four big domes, which are like the four minars of the Mosque. As you enter the Mosque, you will come across an open passage way and then enter into a big hall where you can see many wall hangings which depict the pictures of the holy place like Mecca and Madina. There are also few small rooms, which are used by the people who come to the Mosque to get ready for the prayer, which is called the Namaz. Every day Muslim students and teacher come to the Mosque to perform the holy prayers. On every Friday, almost the entire Muslim community of the campus assembles at the Mosque to do the special prayer. On each Friday, all the students and teachers perform the special prayer, which is lead by the Pesh-e-Imam. The Pesh – e –Imam of our college Mosque is Maulana Sultan Ahmed. The College Mosque was built about 90 years ago with the financial aid from Begum Bhopal. The in-charge of the College Mosque and its activities is Mr. A.S. Ansari and Mr. Saif Siddiqui is the Assistant In charge. The hospital attendant of our school Mohd. Jalil looks after the cleanliness of the Mosque.
Our College Mosque performs many activities during the various Muslim festivals. During the holy month of Ramadan, all regular prayers are held under the guidance of the Pesh – e – Imam and the special prayers like Taraui are also organized, in which the entire Muslim community of the campus participates actively. During those thirty days of fasting, the Iftar- the opening of the fast takes place in the Mosque at sunset. All Muslim students and teachers eat together and quench their thirsts after the complete day of fasting. Then the regular prayer is held, and everyone very willingly performs the prayers and read the holy Quran. After the thirty days of fasting, when Eid arrives, the Mosque is decorated very beautifully with lights and it glows more than ever in the whole school, looking very beautiful. From time to time, renovations and reformations are done to make the Mosque look as good and beautiful as the other buildings of the school.
