What is shameful is that the government which spends crores of rupees on the upkeep of tomb of dead barbarians fails to provide even basic security to ancient & timeless temples.

This is what happens when GOI converts an active place of worship into ASI tourist spot. Shameful.

Now they are bullshitting that the murthi slipped off & broke on its own. Do these people even know how heavy soapstones are?! Chloritic schists have the quality of becoming harder with time. Each & every damage inflicted on Hoyasla era temples is deliberate.

Even if the culprits are caught, they'll at most be let off with a slap on the wrist. Like what happened in the Hampi case recently. The secular state at its very core is iconoclastic in nature. If anything it'll reward such behavior. Hindus can only helplessly watch on.

Not a single ASI official will be held to account. If anything they will make the local archaka as a scapegoat.

The great ASI under whose watch barbarians can desecrate & break murthis.

But the same ASI will not allow nithyapuja at temples like Somnathpura. #AntiHinduASI

Most of the Hoyasla temples have been reduced to mere museums. Archakas have no say in any matter. In many of the Temples even nithyapuja isn't allowed. How can any Temple ecosystem survive without bhaktas? Temples need bhaktas, not tourists.

How can an organization that does landscaping & maintaining garden lawns of tombs of barbarians be allowed anywhere near an ancient Temple? Temples are living, breathing places.

Liberate ancient Temples from ASI control. @narendramodi will you please consider speaking on this?

The curse of Kullahana Rahuta & his wife Sahajadevi will be on us. We have failed both of them. They who so painstakingly build this marvel in the hope that their descendants will care for the Temple like they did. Shame on us. Shame on us. We failed them.
