It’s not just a piece of land which has been donated; it epitomizes the fact that faith should not interfere with brotherhood, which has been practiced in the real means. Â
A group of Muslims at Bihar have served communal harmony by giving away their land for the construction of World’s largest Hindu temple.
More than three dozen Muslim families had their land in the middle of the proposed location of the temple and some Muslims families had land along the main road that connects to the project site. Some donated lands while others helped and supported to purchase their land for the temple.
Acharya Kishore Kunal, secretary of the Patna-based cash-rich Mahavir Mandir Trust said that Muslims have not only donated land, they have also provided land at a nominal rate for construction of the world’s largest Hindu temple. Without the help of Muslims, it would have been difficult realise this dream project.
The world’s largest temple will be able to hold a staggering 20,000 people and will be taken up for construction in June at Janki Nagar near Kesaria in East Champaran district. It will be 2,500 feet long, 1,296 feet wide and 379 feet high, and the entire project costs over Rs 500 crore.
Mahavir Mandir Trust has obtained 200 acres of land, out of which Hindus and Muslims have donated about 50 acres of land and the remaining has been purchased.
The temple will be constructed by a Mumbai-based Valecha Construction Company. The temple being close to the Nepal border will be an earthquake proof construction.
