Re: [www.keralites.net] World's largest Hindu temple to come up in Bihar

 

I totally agree with Bal. Problem of Hinduism is not lack of temples, but poverty and economic instability. Let them think in lines of a healthcare institution where few poor hindus will get employment and let them give a subsidized treatment or a factory where some hindus get a job etc. dont waste money for this. I request all hindus not to donate a single paie for this fir the hungry, food is the greatest God

Another waste of money and time. If only the promotors of this temple think for a moment and construct either a good medical college and or some good education institution.

ortake 20 villages and improve them by giving basic amenities and improve the life of the villagers. God will bless themtwice.

I ama devout hindu and belive in God and not a rationalist.

Bihar Mahavir Mandir Trust

(BMMT) on Sunday said they will build a bigger temple in Bihar'sVaishalidistrict.

To be built at a cost of Rs 100 crore, the five-storied and 222-feet tall temple will come up at a sprawling campusspreadover 15 acres at a place near Ismailpur village on Hajipur-Bidupur road, which will be christened as Angkor Nagar, BMMT's secretary and ex-IPS officerAcharya Kishore Kunalsaid.

Land worth around Rs 30 crore has already been acquired for the purpose from locals, he said.

The proposed temple will be named 'ViratAngkor WatRam Mandir' and it will house the statues of Radha-Krishna, Shiva-Parvati, Ganesh, Surya, Vishnu and ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu.

It will take upto five years to construct the temple and another five years to give the final finishing touches to it, Kunal said.

On selection of the specific site for construction of the world's largest Hindu temple, he said the place has mythological significance as it was said that the deities Ram, Lakshman and Vishvamitra had set their foot on the village and were welcomed by the King Sumati of the Vaishali kingdom.

The 'bhumi pujan' for the proposed temple will be held tomorrow, Kunal said adding the temple was being constructed to mark the centenary celebrations of the BMMTs.

The Angkor Wat temple was built in Cambodiain the 12th century during the rule of then Cambodian king Suryavarman (1141-1152 AD).
