Shri Madhav Ahirwar, the State President of the All India Ravidasia Dharam Sangathan, along with Shri Mihilal Ahirwar, the President of the Makronia Municipal Council, conducted an inspection of the construction site for the grand and divine temple of Sant Shiromani Guru Ravidas Maharaj in Badhtuma, Sagar district. During this visit, both leaders took a detailed overview of the progress of the ongoing construction work.

Progress and Significance of Temple Construction

This temple, being built at a cost of ₹101 crore in the Sagar district, is part of one of the largest Sant Ravidas temples and art museums in the country.

Currently, approximately 50-60% of the temple's work is complete, reflecting the pace of construction.
