Eklavya Academy

Local people have taken the initiative to renovate this temple by forming a trust. But due to financial constraints the construction work is going on very slowly.
Government is ignoring construction work
Ekalavya Teerth Committee member Mukul Chauhan said in his statement that people of his committee have also met the Governor of Haryana. But there he did not get any help other than assurance. He said that till now the construction work of the temple has cost Rs 30 lakh. Local people are getting the construction work of the temple done with mutual help. But its pace is going very slow. A fair is held in this temple of Eklavya twice a year. At the time of the fair, a large number of people of Bhil tribe reach here to have darshan of their idol.
