Resurrecting Heritage: Goa's Plan to Rebuild Lost Temples

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant criticized past governments for not safeguarding Hindu religion and culture, emphasizing recent efforts to protect such heritage under PM Modi's tenure. Addressing the Somnath Parv, Sawant detailed plans for constructing a new temple in North Goa to symbolize the temples destroyed by the Portuguese.

At the inaugural function of 'Somnath Parv', Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant criticized former governments for failing to protect Hindu culture, claiming significant progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Sawant highlighted the historic destruction of temples by invaders, particularly during the Portuguese rule in Goa, which reportedly led to the demolition of 1,000 temples. He announced plans to construct a new temple in North Goa symbolizing those lost to Portuguese attacks.

The Chief Minister praised Modi for initiatives like 'Somnath Parv' that bolster cultural preservation and Sanatan dharma, underlining the importance of educating younger generations on these values.
