Sialkot (Pakistan) – A temple named ‘Shivala Teja Singh’, which was closed for last 72 years, has been reopened. Devotees were astounded to see the interiors of the temple. The temple looks so good that no one can think it is so old. The temple is extremely beautiful and strong even today.

After Partition, Hindus in Pakistan suffered. More than half the number of all the temples which existed before Partition were demolished. Some were demolished partially and left neglected. While a few temples were closed. This temple in Sialkot is one of those, closed at that time. In the year 2019, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had ordered to open this temple. Now the Deities in this temple will be consecrated and worship will begin very soon. When the Temple opened, all the devotees chanted enthusiastically ‘Har Har Mahadev’.
