While I respect the religious significance, I hope the government maintains focus on pressing issues like education and healthcare too. A balanced approach to development is what our country truly needs.

The inclusion of Saptmandir honoring all the great sages and devotees shows the comprehensive spiritual vision behind this project. Mata Shabari and Nishadraj Guha's temples remind us of Ram's universal love for all devotees regardless of background.
