Meerut, Oct. 26 -- One of the most notable spiritual sites in Sambhal, the Manokamna Temple will undergo several changes as the state has sanctioned Rs.1.71 crore for the development of the 141-year-old shrine and its surroundings.

This initiative, to be taken up by the Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (UPSTDC), aims to enhance visitor facilities, preserve the temple's heritage, and position Sambhal as a prominent tourism destination.

Sambhal holds a revered place among Hindus, who believe it to be the foretold birthplace of Lord Vishnu's tenth incarnation, Kalki. This, along with the construction of the Kalki Dham, has brought renewed attention to Sambhal as a sacred destination for pilgrims.
