Jakhu Temple trust nod to silver carvings plan around sanctum sanctorum

The Shri Hanuman Temple Trust Committee, Jakhu, has approved a proposal to install silver carvings around the temple’s sanctum sanctorum.

A meeting of the committee was held here on Monday under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap, during which several development projects for the temple were reviewed.

Kashyap said the SDM, trust members and the district language officer will jointly finalise the carving design. “A donor had submitted a proposal to the trust for silver carvings in the temple’s sanctum sanctorum, which has now been approved. The donor will bear all expenses for the work,” he said.

The committee also approved a master plan prepared by the Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department, estimated at Rs 5.67 crore. The plan includes the construction of a yagyashala, shoe house, new toilets, shops and sheds. A progress report on the temple’s upcoming website was also presented. The website is in its final stages and officials have been directed to complete it within a week.
