One more. Saptamatrikas flanked on either side by Shiva & Ganesha. The sculptures have suffered defacing, the rest is due to weathering. pic.twitter.com/cyxKmt7tJ9

The entire temple structure was basically stripped apart & assembled back again. Some of the pieces were scattered several kilometers away. pic.twitter.com/nX03YE3aTj

This was the state of the temple when it was restored to around 10%. The roof had collapsed & a complete side was missing. pic.twitter.com/f6xAbtAZJS

Awesome restoration work!! 🙏🙏🙏Our family had a similar experience during Tipu's invasion of the Malabar. Our ancestral Mahavishnu temple was defaced and damaged by invaders. We restored the temple and have brought it back to its original glory. pic.twitter.com/yUg07EZUhT

Kudos to you..Hinduism needs such revival initiatives from citizens rather than government which is better off relinquishing it's control of temples

Great Dharmic work. Appreciate it very much. In fact I visited Shantigrama in 2012 with the intention of visiting 4 temples. Visited 3 of them but could not find Dharmeshwara. Villagers were of no use either. Now I am glad thet now you have shown the way.

Indeed your devotion is great. Even the Almighty must be proud of you and your family. Mosques having too much raised platform could be having temples underneath them. Such temples should be brought to life.

@tavleen_singh What an amazing handle. I read your tweets. Thanks for teaching us temple history. Sadly many our kids will never learn this.
