Ancient Kedareshwar Temple in Satara Receives Protected Status
The ancient Kedareshwar Mahadev Temple in Parali, India, is now protected by the government.
This means the government will help take care of it.
The temple is very old, built in the 1300s, and has interesting carvings and architecture.
Before, it was looked after by a local trust, but they didn't have enough money to fix it up.
Now that it's a protected monument, the government will provide funds to make sure the temple is preserved.
This will allow for repairs and improvements to make the temple more beautiful.
The local residents are hoping that this change will attract tourists.
