The brave little Manikarnika temple, Uttarkashi
- 11 years ago
So the brave little temple has lost the battle!
Just yesterday, we completed this short clip on the Manikarnika Temple in Uttarkashi, celebrating its bravery and survival through the worst of the foods in Uttarakhand. Yesterday, sadly, the temple finally got swept away... RIP, temple!
Uttarakhand, August 2: The famous Manikarnika Temple on the banks of Bhagirathi was swept away by the swirling waters of the river in the wee hours on Friday even as fresh attempts were launched to trace Almora SDM Ajay Arora, who slipped off a makeshift bridge and fell into the Mandakini river. Manikarnika Temple, a favourite destination for devotees during the month of 'Shravan' was swept away by the waters of Bhagirathi as incessant rains lashed Uttarkashi on Thursday night, officials said. However, no one was hurt as the temple was empty at the time of the incident, its priest Suresh Shastri said. The temple was built after the 1991 earthquake in Uttarkashi which had killed a large number of people.
