Walk into a crumbling village temple at the edge of Ratlam district, and you’ll find silence. No bells, no flowers, no light. Just broken idols, moss-covered stones, and walls that once echoed with prayers.

This is not decay. This is neglect. A slow forgetting of what was once sacred.

At Omvijay Foundation, we don’t believe in worshiping memories. We believe in restoring them. Our Devsthan Shuddhikaran campaign is as spiritual as it is practical. We clean temples the way we clean our homes before Diwali — with reverence, detail, and deep responsibility.

Armed with brooms, buckets, volunteers, and belief, we enter these spaces not as workers, but as descendants. These aren’t just ruins. They are cultural witnesses — to our grandmothers’ vows, our fathers’ first festivals, our shared identity.

Each clean-up drive becomes a gathering. Elders come and tell stories of how things used to be. Children help plant trees. Local artisans sometimes pitch in to repair broken parts. We install new signage, paint walls, and most importantly — restore the energy that once held entire communities together.

We also go beyond the temple. We install waste bins, create walking paths, and sometimes even connect nearby households to clean water. Because a temple doesn’t stand alone — it stands in a living village.

Why do we do this?

Because if we don’t, these places won’t be here for our children. They will live only in black-and-white photos — not in color, not in presence.

You can join us. Sponsor a clean-up. Visit a restored site. Or simply help us tell these stories before they vanish.

Because when we save our temples, we don’t just save buildings — we save belonging.
