Bengaluru, Ta. 9 December 2020, Wednesday

The work done by a Muslim businessman for the construction of Hanumanji's temple to maintain communal unity in Bengaluru, Karnataka, is being lauded by all quarters. Not only that, posters of businessmen have also been put up in the temple.

What an event

HMG Basha, who lives in Kadugod, Bengaluru, is involved in the transport business. Hanumanji's temple is located near the highway in Valgarepura area. Adjacent to it they had three acres of land. The temple trust had been planning to enlarge the temple for a long time but due to lack of funds, they often dropped the plan.

80 lakh land donated

Seeing the plight of the devotees in the temple, Basha donated his land to the temple. The temple trust demanded about a thousand square feet of land from Basha, but he donated 1600 square feet of land. The land was adjacent to the highway which cost Rs 80 lakh. Basha's generosity is being praised on social media. Not only this, their posters have also appeared in the temple.

Why donate land

MMG Basha, who donated the land, says he has often had trouble getting women to the temple. When the temple trust planned to enlarge the temple, I decided to donate a small portion of my land so that people would have no trouble worshiping.
