The eCoexist links are not working, including list of locations for purchasing the idols. Telephone numbers of 24lettered mantra are also not working. If you have any other contacts (like e-mails) will you please confirm and update the links/provide valid phone numbers? Please?
Dear friend all the links are working fine. You need to be a bit patient if you are using a slow connection. The telephone numbers etc are the latest as given on the eCoexist website.
