Ahmedabad | Friday | 15th June, 2018

Summary:

RAJKOT: A hillock with a dargah on the top is an unmissable sight as you enter the coastal town Rajula . Rajula, with a population of nearly 60,000, has around 15,000 Muslims.“We spent about Rs 13 lakh. Interestingly, when the idea for constructing the temple was floated, people voluntarily started giving funds, irrespective of their religion. The committee has seven Hindu and as many Muslim members.As per the advice of some Hindu priest, the committee decided to install the trident of Khodiyar Mata and the temple finally took shape in 2010. We never went to people asking for funds but when they got to know that this would enhance the communal amity, they started coming to my shop with funds,” said Vora..
