Warangal Temples Face Restoration After UNESCO Recognition
Imagine some very old and beautiful temples in a place called Warangal.
These temples are like historical treasures, and some of them need to be fixed up because they're starting to get old.
The government wants to help by giving money to make them look nice again.
They plan to fix up the Thousand Pillars Temple, which has been around for hundreds of years, and also the Bhadrakali Temple, which is a very old temple too.
Fixing the temples will help people learn about the past, and it could also bring in more visitors, which is good for the local economy.
