Abusinessman from South India has donated a little over forty kilos of gold — equal to the weight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heera Ben, to the Kashi Vishwanath temple, sources said.
The main temple and the inner walls are completely covered in a layer of gold.
On December 13, 2021, PM Modi renovated the Kashi Vishwanath temple. The mega project is expected to boost tourism in Varanasi.
“This is a confluence of ancient and new,” PM Modi said while addressing the inauguration ceremony.
The project was completed at the cost of Rs 900 crore. The temple area at Kashi Vishwanath Dham, which was only 3000 square feet, has now spread to about five lakh square feet. The temple premise can now accommodate 50,000-75,000 devotees.
