~ Temples are the cornerstone of our society. It is that institution from where our culture sprouts, civilization manifests and dharma is supported. Our ancestors built majestic and functional temples to propagate dharma and made them a part of our everyday life. 1/9

@DalrympleWill If Aurangzeb was a pragmatist, then iconoclasm was an interior decorating hobby. Tyranny was good governance, intolerance was just policy, & temple demolitions were urban projects. Every despot is just a bad manager, history is creative fiction, & Orwell wrote self-help books.

~ Languages are never inimical to each other. They freely flow, mingle and borrow whenever necessary. Every language is beautiful. They are the best among equals.

~ The Hon'ble Prime Minister is a real 'loka-ranjaka' - king of the hearts of his people. While standing strong as the cultural ambassador of 1.4 billion strong Bharatiya nation, he has effortlessly imbibed the tradition from the Vedas to Vivekananda.

Yajña-s are the best amongst the best Karma-s. Somā Yāga-s are the most desired by Devatā-s. Of the Somāyāga-s, Pauṇḍarīka is the best that can be observed in Kaliyuga - Pranav @aggibarata, Dharmādhārā Trust

P.S. The original plan was to consecrate a complex of twenty-four temples, but one part of the family did not later come forward to complete their share of the agreed project.

One of the 'Dwadash Shiv Mandir' built by the children of Ray Shivadeva Majumdar Chaudhuri (Santosh Ray Chaudhuri, ca. 1710-99 CE) in the early decades of the 19th centiury at Barisha's Savarna Para to celebrate the legacy of their deceased father.
