Pakistan’s PM Nawaz Sharif Inaugurates Renovation of Katas Raj temple

Pakistan’s PM Nawaz Sharif Inaugurates Renovation of Katas Raj temple
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the renovation of the Katas Raj Hindu temple in Chakwal district in the Punjab Province of Pakistan on January 11, 2017 as a part of the policy to establish Pakistan’s identity as a minority-friendly country. The work includes installation of a water
filtration plant in the Amrat Jal area. The Katas Raj temple is admired by Hindus across the globe as very sacred as it is believed that the foundation of the sacred site was laid by Lord Shiva.
The temple was over 5,000 years old and had been the focal point of four civilisations. Al-Biruni, Persian scholar and polymath, had computed the earth’s circumference from here.
