Gujarat’s religious places, whether large or small, have been known to attract a significant number of devotees. As the festive season approaches, the government has approved the proposal for redevelopment projects of seven temples in Vadodara.

Several redevelopment proposals were made by the Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board (GPYVB) to the chief minister of Gujarat, Bhupendra Patel. The CM sanctioned the redevelopment of seven small temples worth ₹1.52 cr in Vadodara district.
Six of these temples are in Padra, while one is in Shinor.
GPYVB secretary RR Rawal said that the board had received proposals from different institutions and trusts in Vadodara district for the redevelopment of the small temples, for which proposals were presented before the CM.
