Khanna and her co-awardees are part of the Champions of Change’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) designation.

Mahant Narayan Giri of Dudheswar Mandir said the consecration ceremony is an event of great fortune and it was unfortunate that some people were raising an issue over it. He said holy 'kalash' and 'dhwaja' (flag) were installed in Somnath T
