      The fake image is being shared on Facebook with a caption in Hindi that reads, "a cross instead of mangalsutra dangles from the neck of this 'sacred-thread' wearing dattatreya Brahmin."

      (Translated from Hindi text - जनेऊधारी दत्तात्रेय ब्राह्मण की जनेऊधारी बहन के गले मे मंगलसूत्र की जगह क्रॉस लटका हुआ है, और बोलती है मैं गंगा की बेटी हूं, एक नम्बर की फर्जी चोरी करके बेल पे रहने वाली फैमिली!)

      The post by a Facebook user Manjeet Bagga got around a 227 shares and more than 400 likes at the time of writing the story. The post specifically draws attention to the fake crucifix with a red arrow and implies that Gandhi is a Christian.
