'Havan on Earth': Jonty Rhodes performs puja for daughter India

As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Roman do"; Mumbai Indians fielding coach Jonty Rhodes has embraced Indian culture whole heartedly. 

After naming his newborn daughter 'India' last year', Jonty now has performed a puja for well being of the toddler at Pejawar Mutt in Santacruz, Mumbai.

 Jonty, dressed up in a traditional avatar, was all smiles as the puja was being performed.

The fielding maestro was accompanied by his wife and little 'India' for the ritual, while his three sons were comfortable sitting on the chairs behind him.
