A few weeks back one of the honourable members of the parliament had raised a question about ‘Jalahari’ (made of gold) installed inside the Pashupatinath Temple, it was later removed from the record.
Two years after a public complaint was lodged at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) that less amount of gold had been used than was decided earlier while making a jalahari (special ornament) for the Pashupatinath Temple, the anti-corruption watchdog entered the sacred temple on Sunday to ascertain the truth.
