Kedarnath temple to be built in Delhi is a temple, not a Dham, says president of Kedarnath Dham Trust

He said, "Many temples have already been built in the name of famous Dhams in different cities of the country, whether it is Kedarnath Temple in Indore or Badrinath Temple in Mumbai."

 The Kedarnath temple to be built in Delhi is a temple, not a Dham and the Uttarakhand government has nothing to do with it, said Surinder Rautela, president of Kedarnath Dham Trust on Sunday.

Speaking exclusively to ANI about the Kedarnath temple to be built in Delhi, Rautela said, “The temple to be built in Delhi is being constructed by the trust (Shri Kedarnath Dham Trust, Delhi) and it has nothing to do with the Uttarakhand government. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami came on our request for the Bhoomi Pujan of the temple and the government has nothing to do with it. The temple is built with the support of trustees and many of them belong to Uttarakhand.”

He said, “Many temples have already been built in the name of famous Dhams in different cities of the country, whether it is Kedarnath Temple in Indore or Badrinath Temple in Mumbai. These temples were also inaugurated by the former CM of Uttarakhand, Harish Rawat.”

Surinder Rautela said, “The controversy over naming the temple being built in Delhi as Shri Kedarnath Dham is just a political stunt that should be avoided. Some leaders are creating controversy just to satisfy their political needs. Uttarakhand’s Kedarnath Dham is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. We are just creating a temple in Delhi and there are various such temples in different cities of India.”
