The construction of the temple started about eight months ago and religious ceremony related to opening of the temple was performed yesterday.
"Pran Pratishtha (religious ceremony) of deity Shiv Ji and Hanuman Ji was performed amidst chanting of Vedic hymns on Sunday," Ajmal Ali Sheikh, the Sahaar village head who has constructed the temple said today.
"Few rooms adjacent to temple for the use of priest and other visitors would be constructed shortly," Sheikh said, claiming that he had spent over four lakhs from his pocket for the construction.
"It grew more last year when I saw ladies coming to village Sahaar on the occasion of Shiv Ratri to pay their obeisance to deity, after travelling about four kilometers", Sheikh stated.
