H'bag man builds temple in wife's memory
Hazaribag: A man from Khambhwa village of Tatijharia in Hazaribag district is constructing a temple in memory of his late wife Satyabhama Devi, who died in 2023. Talking about his wife, the man identified as Bhola Sharma, a 65-year-old retired teacher, said, "A woman considers her husband as God and so the husband should also see and treat her in the same manner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She was one of my strongest pillars of my life in any circumstance I was in. Hence, it is my duty and responsibility to keep her memory alive by building a temple." Sharma also said he has spent over Rs 10 lakh of his retirement money on the construction of the structure. "The work is almost over now and only the painting work is pending," he said, adding that his son, Shivkumar Sharma, and grandson, Neelmani Pandey, helped him with the work. The retired teacher also said the temple would not have any statue of his wife. "My wife was a devotee of 'Gram Devi', or the local deity revered as the local guardian of the area. We will put an idol of the 'Gram Devi'. My wife used to talk about constructing a Gram Devi temple in the village, but she died with her dream unfulfilled. Now, this temple in her memory will be a fulfilment of her desire," he said, adding that the temple will have a plaque containing her name.
