Azad's Secret Hideout: Bihari Temple Where Freedom Plots Were Hatched Against British

• Bihari Temple in Khaniyadhana, Shivpuri, served as a secret base for Indian revolutionaries against British rule.
• Chandrashekhar Azad hid there as 'Pandit Harishankar Brahmachari/Sharma', posing as a sadhu to evade British detection.
• Nightly secret meetings were held at the temple to strategize and plan attacks against the British.
• Raja Khalak Singh Judev of Khaniyadhana provided crucial support, including weapons and gunpowder, to the revolutionaries.
• Despite its historical significance, the temple is now in a dilapidated state, yet revered by locals.

Why It Matters: Bihari Temple, Azad's secret base, was central to India's freedom struggle, now neglected.
