Purification ceremony held, Hanuman chalisa chanted at re-opened temple in Muslim-majority area in Aligarh

In Aligarh, a purification ceremony was held at a long-abandoned Shiva temple in a Muslim-majority area after its "reopening" by right-wing groups. Locals, including Muslims, helped restore the temple and pledged support for its revival. The temple, abandoned for five years, was rediscovered during a drive to identify neglected places of worship.
