Rare Ravana Temple Revived in Mandya

There's a special temple in a place called Nidaghatta, which is dedicated to a character named Ravana from a famous Hindu story called Ramayana.

This temple was almost forgotten and in bad condition for a long time.

But recently, many people who consider Ravana as their family god started visiting and donating money to fix it up.

The temple now has a new roof, a wedding hall, and a wall around it.

People from different nearby towns come to pray here.

There's another similar temple nearby, but this one is more popular.

The temple's story is connected to a time when Ravana and his army are said to have stayed in this area.
