A Temple means constructing a religious place consuming crores of rupees and millions of man hours Can't the money spent after construction of a temple be given some constructive direction?
If a school, a college, a university or a hospital is constructed using these funds, they can serve a great social cause.
No doubt, temple is a place to satisfy religious thirst of the Society.
However, what is the social output of a temple? Not really any.
Today, when a large number of new temples are being constructed, how can the amount spent be called "well spent'
Can it not be said that while we are progressing in the field of belief, we are drawing a zero in the field of social welfare.
