The auspicious occasion commenced with the laying of the foundation stone by Minister Sitharaman, marking the inception of a monumental project aimed at enriching the spiritual landscape of India.

Highlighting the visionary aspects of the project, Kshetram Chairman, Lena Narayan, unveiled the ambitious plans for the ten-storey Dharmashala, set to grace the land adjacent to the iconic Nataraj Cinema in Sigra. Boasting a total of 135 rooms, spread across an expansive area of 65,000 square feet, the Dharmashala aims to provide pilgrims with unparalleled comfort and convenience during their spiritual sojourns.
The significance of the land earmarked for this noble endeavor cannot be overstated, as it has been acquired with meticulous care and reverence. For over five decades, efforts have been tirelessly undertaken to liberate this sacred land from unauthorized encroachments, under the able governance and administration. Now, this consecrated ground, adorned with offerings of flowers and Vilva leaves, stands as a testament to unwavering devotion and determination.
Moreover, the Dharmashala complex is poised to offer more than just lodging facilities. With provisions for student accommodation, residential quarters, and a banquet hall, it aspires to cater to the multifaceted needs of visitors, ensuring a holistic experience of spiritual rejuvenation and communal harmony.
Chairman Narayan further elucidated the longstanding tradition of daily offerings made to Lord Vishwanath and Mother Vishalakshi, spanning over two centuries. This sacred ritual, performed thrice daily, embodies the deep-seated reverence and devotion ingrained within the ethos of the Kshetram, serving as a beacon of spiritual enlightenment for devotees far and wide.
In essence, the inauguration of the Shreekashi Nattukottai Nagar Kshetram Dharmashala heralds a new chapter in the spiritual narrative of Kashi, promising a sanctuary of solace and transcendence for generations to come.
