“During the movement, most of the Hindus had confined themselves to their homes and there was a thin presence of the community at the temple. Now, the number of people coming to the temple is slowly growing. This Friday more people came here than on the Friday before,” the priest said.

Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, people from all communities come here, and “there is no restriction” but people have to follow timings, he added. People from outside Dhaka in Bangladesh and even from India come to visit this ancient temple. Nearly, every day, people from the Indian community in Bangladesh visit the temple, Maitro said. Maitro, born in the year of Bangladesh’s independence in 1971, says, “Now, it feels normal here,” adding about 1,000 people visit the temple daily.
