Unfortunate Malin Village in Maharashtra and the Temple Dome

You must have read about the natural disaster (heavy rains, cloudburst and landslide) at Malin village near Pune in Indian state of Maharashra [News]. In a sad flurry of disaster, more than 70 dead bodies have been found till date from the site.

It is good to hear that Siddhivinayak Temple trust, Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Mandir Nyas (Prabhadevi), has donated Rs 50 lakh towards relief measures in the village [Link].


Several heart wrenching stories are coming up related to the destroyed village and of the people left around. One surprising piece of news is about the only visible remains of the village being of the temple dome! [News: Only the temple dome was visible in the 35-ft mound]
