What Abhishek said

Taking to his Instagram account, Abhishek shared that he has now got the chance to rebuild a Hanuman temple that was damaged due to the floods. He shared a reel on Instagram to show the affected land, where the idol of Hanuman was kept. The YouTuber was seen breaking a coconut as the first step towards rebuilding, distributing food on a plate to locals and interacting with them with folded hands.

In the caption, he wrote, “Bajrang Bali ne mujhe yeh saubhagya diya ki main Hanuman Mandir ke nirmaan mein apna chhota sa yogdaan de sakun. As a proud Hindu, this feeling is truly beyond words. Aaj humne pooja ke saath is pavitra kaam ki shuruaat ki. Humne mandir ke nirmaan ke liye ₹5 lakh ka yogdaan dene ka sankalp liya tha, lekin True Hope Foundation ₹5 lakh ko yeh initiative itna pasand aaya ki unhone apni taraf se ₹15 lakh aur jodne ka faisla kiya (I got the good opportunity to rebuild this temple and started the work with a puja. I contributed ₹5 lakh and True Hope Foundation added ₹15 lakh more because they loved the initiative).”

He added, “Ab milkar lagbhag ₹20 lakh ki lagat se ek sundar Hanuman Mandir ka nirmaan kiya jayega. Paise se zyada mere liye yeh baat matter karti hai ki Bajrang Bali ne mujhe is punya kaam ka ek chhota sa hissa banne ka mauka diya. Jai Bajrang Bali! 🚩Jai Shree Ram! (Now the amount of ₹20 lakh will be kept for the reconstruction of a beautiful temple here. Above the donation, it is the chance to be a part of this work that matters to me).”
