8-year-old daughter of diamond baron from Surat set to embrace monkhood

The parents of a diamond heiress who has devoted her life to strict religious servitude have been slammed for letting her do so at such a young age. Devanshi Sanghvi, 8, became a nun of the ancient Jain religion in India last week during a lavish ceremony hosted by her millionaire diamond tycoon family. Tens of thousands attended as Devanshi - who was draped in fine clothes with a diamond-studded crown atop her head - rode in to Gujarat on an elephant before taking her vows of renunciation in front of senior monks.
