Mansa Devi Temple to Get Rs 6.5 Crore Makeover

The Mata Mansa Devi Temple complex is slated for a major modernization project, valued at approximately Rs 6.5 crore, by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). This comprehensive redevelopment aims to significantly enhance the facilities and pilgrim experience at this prominent religious site.

The plan includes constructing a new entry hall and main gate, alongside improvements to Shakti Chowk and the temple's approach road. Notably, escalators will be installed alongside a staircase pathway, ensuring easier access to the shrine for all devotees, particularly senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Further enhancements will feature a water ATM, an upasana sthal, and a dome structure.

Beautification efforts at Shakti Chowk, including decorative lighting and landscaping, are also part of the initiative to create a more aesthetically appealing environment. Retaining and protective works are integrated into the plan to ensure structural integrity. The HSVP has bundled these upgrades into a single package, targeting completion within nine months from the commencement of work. Bids for the project, estimated at Rs 6.45 crore, were invited until August 26.
