The two religious establishments have been standing side by side for decades now.
According to Pir Abdul Rashid, Imam of the Grand Majid (Jamia Masjid) Trehgam, the mosque and temple are not just places of worship, but also symbols of their shared cultural heritage.
“The people of Trehgam have always stood firm in their commitment to communal harmony. They have continued to live together in peace and harmony, setting an example for the rest of the country,” he was quoted as saying by ANI.
Bilal Ahmad Najjar, a local resident, told the news agency, “The coexistence of a grand mosque and a Hindu temple in Trehgam village is a shining example of communal harmony. It is important to recognize and celebrate such instances and to strive towards promoting more of them. It is through such efforts that we can build a more inclusive and peaceful society.”
