Mysore Priest Family Fears Temple Collapse Near Palace Wall
Imagine a temple near a big palace in a city.
A family has been taking care of this temple for a long time.
Now, the temple is getting old, and the walls have cracks.
The family is worried because they think the temple might fall down, especially when it rains.
They told the people who take care of the palace about the problem, but nothing much has been done yet.
The palace people said they might fix it after a big festival, but the family is still worried about the temple's safety.
The priest's family worships at Sri Vonteramacharyara Anjaneya Swamy Temple near the Mysore Palace.
The temple and the priest's home are in a dilapidated condition.
The temple structure is over a century old and has significant cracks.
The family has repeatedly appealed to the Mysore Palace Board for repairs.
The Palace Board has promised restoration work after the Dasara festivities.
