World’s first lion-shaped Durga temple to come up near Nal Sarovar

Sharing her thoughts on the temple, Dr. Honeyben (Gurumaa) said, “This temple is different from any other temple in design and layout. Along with the lion-shaped design, the temple will feature a Trishul-shaped ashram and prayer hall. The sanctum sanctorum will accommodate more than 300 devotees at a time. By bringing together all 51 Shakti Peeths under one roof, we aim to provide devotees with a space where they can connect with the divine without the need for extensive travel. We aim to create a spiritual haven for devotees of Goddess Durga.”

The temple will be more than just a place of worship. It will also serve as a cultural and spiritual hub, offering daily Yagnas and Havan rituals, free meditation sessions and camps aimed at imparting knowledge of Indian culture. A 24-hour food service will also be available to devotees.

Adding to the temple’s unique features is a Trishul-shaped entrance, a departure from the traditional large entrance gates found in most temples. The entrance will be an impressive 355 feet long and 13 feet wide. The temple will be built using stones especially sourced from Aurangabad. The temple will also include a prayer hall, where devotees and saints will gather for prayers and spiritual discourses.

The construction of this magnificent temple is a massive undertaking, with over 200 artisans from across the state working tirelessly around the clock to bring Dr. Honeyben (Gurumaa)’s vision to life.
