NO. This is terrible news. It's one of my Panchabhutams.
I agree with Shyam's #67. It is due to christo govt's deliberate, calculated negligence (passed off as "secular misfortune" <- the deniability is possible because of christoism's secular cloak, just like christianism can play innocent in the calculated destruction 'dredging' of Ramarsethu for what are made to appear as 'secular' reasons to the sleeping public).
If Hindu Temples were left to Hindus, Hindus would have preserved it. Hindus love their Gods and therefore love their Temples. It is why they always donate so happily to their Temples:
a) for the upkeep of the sacred sites where my Gods dwell, so we can visit it in the same state and it is preserved for future generations of Hindus
b ) for maintaining the direct families and continuity of those who carefully, properly and happily perform the traditional rites to the Gods. So that Temple priests may continue to perform this service for us lay Hindus. (The Temple priests' lives are dedicated to doing this specialised task - and doing so with the right frame of mind - and we don't have to do it but benefit from their performing the correct and necessary rites to the Gods of each Temple),
c) for Temples' maintaining large numbers of poor Hindu families of all communities who are nourished and whose lives are supported by Hindu Temples. It is Hindu religion's inbuilt mechanism of - what's that Hellenistic word that Julian is so fond of - philanthropia. Yes, Hindus' philanthropia towards other, less well-to-do Hindus: donate money to Temples who have always looked after our larger Hindu community.
Kalahasteeshwarar + Gnyaana Prasunaambika ... The beautiful home built for my wonderful Father and Mother where they dwell for their Hindus... Built on the sacred site where IIRC once a devoted Hindu offered his touching even if inexpert puja to Shiva that moved Bhagavan so.
How I wish Julian were still alive and would choose to swing the bat for the Hindu Religion too, in fellow-feeling/understanding. Sigh. Nothing for it then, but to keep hoping I don't outlive the continuation of traditional Hindu Dharma in Bharatam (with which I don't mean modern Indian cults nor other established Indic/Dharmic religions).
