For representational purpose
This is what exactly the communities should be like, helping each other and living a peaceful life together and in such one example, a Muslim sarpanch erected a Lord Rama temple for Rupees 50 lakh at Budidampadu village in Raghunadapalam Mandal in Khammam district.
Hyderabad: This is what exactly the communities should be like, helping each other and living a peaceful life together and in such one example, a Muslim sarpanch erected a Lord Rama temple for Rupees 50 lakh at Budidampadu village in Raghunadapalam Mandal in Khammam district.
Shaik Meera Saheb, the sarpanch of Budidampadu village in Khammam district's Raghunadapalam Mandal, raised Rs 25 lakh in donations and contributed Rs 25 lakh himself for the temple's construction.
The temple is said to have a cost of Rs 50 lakh in total. After several bigwigs failed to build the Ramalayam, Shaik Meera decided to take the initiative. K Bicha, Nanda, and Konya, three tribal brothers, gave 1000 square yards of land for the temple's building.
The sarpanch speaking to the media said that he goes to temples and churches to offer prayers.
"We can't take anything with us when we die," he continued, "but our work will be remembered forever."
"Muslims erected many temples around the state. Nizam, for example, erected the Bhadrachalam Ramalayam. During the British rule, a Muslim built a church in Dornakal, Mahaboobabad district, for Rs 20 crore," he claimed.
Telangana MAUD Minister K T Rama Rao praised Shaik Meera's gesture in bringing the communities together.
"This is Telangana!" the Minister wrote in a tweet. These are the tales we should be telling! Shaikh Meera Saheb, the Sarpanch of Boodidampaadu village in Telangana, built the Lord Ram temple with his own funds."
