SRINAGAR, KASHMIR, October 16, 2009: A group of Kashmiri Hindus and local Muslims have set an example of brotherhood and communal harmony by coming together to renovate an abandoned temple in Srinagar city.Shiv Ji Temple Welfare Committee has taken the initiative to ensure renovation of the abandoned Bod Mandir (”big temple”) in Rainawari area with the help and support of local Muslim residents.
According to some people, militants had burnt down the temple in the early 90s after the majority of Kashmiri Pandits were forced to leave the Kashmir valley.
The local Muslim residents contribute towards the renovation of the temple and hope that the same old traditions of communal harmony will return to the area as soon as the temple is reopened for the devotees.
