Nijagal Hills temple complex near Bangalore Karnataka has two Dargahs existing near the Hindu temple ruins. The construction of one Dargah near the temple pond is ongoing, while another is at the top of the hill.
This particular tree growing on the temple ruins situated on top of Nijagal hills near Bangalore, has coins placed all over its roots.

Is it a custom, is there details available about this particular practice.

Hindu Samaj is protesting, agitating and fighting court cases against @BJP4India Maharashtra govt notifying land near Ambarnath Siva temple as Muslim graveyard.

Support the fight for Dharma against the traitors who backstab Hindus for political gains.

Hindus should brace themselves for a referendum in year 2024, people of India should be allowed to choose between Present Constitution and the new Constitution for Bharatvarsha.

#ReclaimTemples , #Gharwapsi should be an integral part of the new.
The present Constitution of Bharat was never accepted by the people of Bharat via a referendum. Many of its provisions are based on Govt of India Act 1935 passed by the British.

A reason why the rich, mighty and minorities gets benefits denied to Hindus and ordinary citizens.
Indian Constitution based on Victorian moralities and legalities has failed to protect Hindu Dharma and it's age old traditions. It has relegated Hindus as second class citizens.

Lets adopt a Constitution based on Hindu Dharmik traditions via a referendum in 2024.

We are making an effort to ensure that every Hindu knows these details. Help us spread the word.

Drove from #Bangalore to #Hospet, a distance of 350 km, on March 25th to see the #Hampi ruins. Instead of going back via Chitradurga, turned onto NH 150A from NH 48 at Hiriyur. The Hiriyur - Hospet stretch has much less traffic compared to Chitradurga-Hospet. #IndiaRoadTrip
Soon after crossing Hiriyur en route to #Hospet (near #Hampi), the landscape transformed itself dramatically. There were beautiful craggy hills and fields with the characteristic red soil of the region, with moderate to scanty vegetation. #IndiaRoadTrip
The #Hiriyur to #Hospet route goes close to #Bellary (now #Ballary), w/ its many mines of the best quality iron. Saw trucks transporting iron ore plying on this route. Incidentally, Bellary has often been in the news for rampant illegal mining & export of iron ore. #IndiaRoadTrip

Study:
histories by medieval Muslim historians,

Chapter, ‘Hindustan ki Masjiden’ in
Maulana Hakim Sayid Abdul Hai’s,
‘Hindustan Islami ahad mein’

‘Epigraphia Indica’ by Archeological Survey of🇮🇳

1-Maulana Abdul Hai in the chapter, Hindustan ki Masjiden,describes each principal masjid in few lines;

“Qutub-Din Aibak, after demolishing Temple built by Prithviraj, leaving certain parts, built Quwwat al-Islam in 587”,👇🏻
2- In 592,Aibak returned & under Shihabud-Din Ghori’s orders, started building a huge masjid of red stone including certain parts of the Temple.

When Shamsud-Din Altamish became the king, he built edifices of white stone on both its sides & on one side, the lofty towers..
