SIALKOT, PAKISTAN – In the congested streets of Dharowal, a beautiful temple exists name as Shivala Teja Singh Temple. Temple is almost 1000 years old. Late writer Rashid Niaz wrote about it in his book “History of Sialkot”. This Temple is dedicated to Shiv Maharaj. He was an auspicious mythical character in Hinduism, built by Sardar Teja Singh who was die hard devotee of Shiv.
The authotities sealed the temple because of incrreasing chaos after partition in 1947. Later they left Temple in agony for rusting and destruction. In 1992 mobs attacked the site again. It was the retaliation after the martyrdom of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
In 2015 Hindu community asked for the repairing of temple. 2014, the Tehsil Municipal Administration established a family park around the temple at the cost of Rs 5 Million. In 2019, Evacuee Trustee Property Board (ETPB) took charge of the operations and whereabouts of the temple.
