Today, statue of #AdiShankaracharya Ji inaugurated in #Kedarnath Dham, in #uttarakhand

This 12-foot statue made its journey from the workshop of sculptor #ArunYogiraj in #Mysuru’s Saraswatipuram to the Samadhi sthal in Kedarnath (by road until Chamoli Airbase from where it was airlifted by the Indian Air Force to Kedarnath)

#Shankaracharya ji statue has been made by a Mysore-based sculptor using chlorite schist – a rock popular for withstanding rain, sunshine and harsh weather. It has been constructed by digging land behind the Kedarnath Temple and in the middle of the samadhi area.

Ruined Hindu #Temple with dome structure and पंचायतन style.

• Place - Kankanpura, East #Gujarat
• Antiquity - ~12th c. CE (~800 yrs), Chaulukya-Vaghela Era.

Temples are institutions through which our civilisation exist along with its diverse rituals, practices and customs.

With revival of temples, a social change happens connecting people back to their roots.

We have filed civil suit to reclaim the Thirunavaya Thali Mahadeva temple, Malappuram.

Kerala govt had buried the temple and renamed the temple site to prevent its revival.

The structure infront of nandi maharaj is also a temple not the mosque. The walls with defaced hindu symbols are witnesses.

Gyanvapi means the "well of knowledge" and source of divine water for hindus so it should be called gyanvapi mandir not gyanvapi masjid.

After the Shilanyas ceremony, the foundation work of Ayyamkulangara Shiva temple, Malappuram has started.
