Abstract: In this paper we prove a conjectured modular equation of Farkas and Kra, which involving a half sum of certain modular form of weight $1$ for congruence subgroup $Gamm{a}_1(k)$ with any prime $k$. We prove that their conjectured identity holds for all odd integer $kge2$. A new modular equation of Farkas and Kra type is also established.
