A Muslim businessman, Mohammad Naushad Sheikh, constructed a Hindu temple to promote communal harmony in the district of Jharkhand, an Indian state.

The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god, Lord Krishna. He spent his own money of over Rs. 60 lakh (Pakistani rupees) on the construction.

On Sunday, while speaking to the Indian news agency, ANI, he said, “I had a dream in 2019 to establish this temple. Today this temple has been completed.”
