Indore, Madhya Pradesh – After years of abandonment and misuse, the historic Champeshwar Mahadev Temple, built by the visionary Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar, has finally returned to its sacred glory — thanks to the tireless and unwavering efforts of Ramdoot Restores and its Indore ground team.
Once left to decay in the heart of Indore city, this ancient temple had become a forgotten relic. Its sanctity eroded over time, it had tragically turned into a place frequented by alcoholics and littered with neglect. Devotees had stopped visiting, and the government showed no concern. It stood still — neither alive nor preserved.
But all of that began to change when the Ramdoot Restores team took matters into their own hands.
For months, volunteers from the organization visited the temple regularly. They cleaned the premises, offered worship, spoke with locals, and conducted Sanghosthis (community meetings) to raise awareness and invite support. They also held multiple discussions with the authorities to demand action and responsibility for maintaining the temple’s decorum and safety.
