President Bidya Devi Bhandari inaugurated the Badrinarayan Temple and also attended the programme organized to consecrate lord Badrinatha's statute at Kavresthali of Tarakeshwar Municipality-2 in the district today.
A foundation stone for the construction of the temple was laid on June 17, 2016.
The Badrinatha is one of the four Dhams (secret places) in Hindu religion. The temple was constructed in an artistic way. It is expected that with the construction of the Badrinatha Temple here, the pilgrims need not go to India to pay homage to lord Badrinatha.
Similarly, Province-3 chief Minister Dormani Poudel shared that they were planning to develop the area as religious and cultural tourism hub.
The municipality mayor Rameshwar Bohara also committed to developing the site as the tourism hub.
On the occasion, Brihat Shantidham's founder Chaturbhujacharya Chudamani urged all to preserve the Sanatan religion.
