According to the CM, a temple of Sant Ravidas will also be established in Sagar district.
âThe temple will be made with a cost of Rsâč 100 crore, but I want that every person should have a share in it. Everyone should undertake the work of âshilapujanâ in their respective village. From there that stone would be taken and installed in the temple of Sant ji to be built in Sagarâ, he said.
