In 2021, the Indian Army worked with local communities to restore this 106-year-old temple.

The temple was then reopened to the public, allowing devotees to reconnect with their spiritual roots.

However, those hopes were destroyed when the temple burned down early Wednesday morning. The community still wishes for the temple to be rebuilt, and investigations are ongoing to find out what caused the fire.
