It is surprising that such a splendid temple complex of Bettiah which should have been the pride, emblem and symbol of Bettiah West Champaran, a pleasing place of tourist attraction, remains totally neglected. Even beautiful pond in the temple complex urgently calls for proper cleaning, approach road to the temple needs to be made smooth comfortable and encroachment-free, and most importantly this majestic and breathtaking temple complex requires aggressive publicity apart from social media.
