The formation of the trust by Vishava Hindu Parishad
In 1998 the structure of the temple was completely ruined, the sculptures of the gods and goddesses were damaged and the Shiva linga was also broken. The rooms inside the temple campus were also starting to fall, due to which some people who later became the part of trust found the current position of temple very shameful. That is why they started to look for someone from Muni Lal’s family who was Seth Kapuri Lal’s brother in law.
Smt. Svarna Khullar was contacted who was the descendant of Muni Lal’s family. She was told the whole story of the temple and after that she contacted Vishva Hindu Parishad to form a trust to maintain and manage the temple.
On 14th October 1998 it was announced by Smt. Svarna Khullar that she wants to form a trust to maintain and manage the temple work. After her announcement a small trust was assembled by Vishva Hindu Parishad Himachal Pradesh.
Originally the trust was made with 21 members, some of the members of the trust were from Smt. Svarna Khullar’s family and remaining members were localites.
The formation of the trust and the changes it brought
Soon after the formation of the trust, all the members of the trust started to sort out the ways to indulge people in renovation of temple. Initially there were no money to spend in the renovation of the temple. That is why the members of the trust started to visit every single family in the town and asked for their financial help. Most of the families donated some amounts for the renovation.
A small office was made to do meetings regarding the renovation and maintenance of the temple. It was decided in the early meetings of the trust that the temple need to have some regular source of income so that the renovation of the temple could be done efficiently. The idea of forming a hall where several events could be done was brought. The idea was accepted by all the members of the trust.
Sh. Maheshwar Singh who was the member of parliament in that time was contacted and the concept of the hall was presented to him. He was convinced and donated 10 lakhs rupees to the trust.
Sh Suresh Bhardwaj who was also the member of parliament donated 5 lakhs rupees as well. With the money collected from the donation both from the political bodies and the localites of Rampur Bushahr beautiful hall was made. After that the renovation of the temple started with the donation as well as the money that came from renting out the hall.
As the time passed by the trust started to have regular income from the temple as well as the hall, due to which 11 rooms were made along with a dormitory. Those people who had the illegal possession of the temple property was convinced to leave the possession, some of them were convinced while some of them still possess the temple property. The trust is constantly working out to convince them to leave the property legally.
