Grand Shri Prakateshwar Mahadev Temple's Foundation Laid at Dhapri Disputed Site

• Bhoomi Pujan for Shri Prakateshwar Mahadev Temple completed at Dhapri, Chandauli, on a site previously marked by dispute.
• The site, where a Shiva lingam was unearthed, caused religious and political unrest, requiring heavy police deployment.
• After extensive dialogue and administration mediation, an agreement was reached for temple construction, normalizing the situation.
• BJP leader Rana Singh stated the Shiva lingam's appearance during excavation led to comparisons with Baba Baidyanath Dham.
• A trust will be formed to manage the temple, developing it as a spiritual and cultural center with administration oversight.
