New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi unfurled a traditional flag on the famous Mahakali temple in Gujarat's Panchmahal district on Saturday. Prime Minister Modi said the flag unfurled at the temple is not just symbol of our spirituality, but shows that our faith remains strong despite passage of centuries. “The flag unfurled at the temple is not just a symbol of our spirituality, but it says that centuries change, eras go by, but our faith remains eternal,” he said speaking on the occasion, PTI reported.
While unfurling the flag, PM Modi said that centres of faith and spiritual glory of India are now being re-established.
“For five centuries and even after 75 years of Independence the flag atop Ma Kali temple was not unfurled, today it is being done,” he added.

Prime Minister Modi said the dream of lakhs of devotees was fulfilled today when the temple stands in full glory as it was in the ancient times.
“It is one thing to dream, while conceptualising something is different. But when you see that the dream has become a reality, it is a satisfactory feeling,” he added.
Asserting the rebuilding of Ma Kali temple at Pavagadh is part of the same “gaurav yatra”, Prime Minister Modi said: “You have seen that a grand Ram temple is being built at Ayodhya. The Kashi Vishwanath temple complex has already been rebuilt and the same is the case with the Kedarnath temple.”
“Our centres of faith and spiritual glory of India are being re-established,” he added.
The ‘shikhara’ or spire of the temple, which was destroyed in the attack of Sultan of Gujarat Mahmud Begda around 500 years ago, has been restored now as part of the redevelopment of the 11th century temple, situated.
Lauding the development, BJP national secretary Y. Satya Kumar said Prime Minister Modi-led government is “committed to correct historical blunders”.
“A very Proud day for Hindu Civilization Shri Mahakali Temple which was destroyed by Sultan Begda in 15th century & turned into Dargah is restored to its former glory PM will also unfurl Dhwaja on Temple after 500 years Modi govt is committed to correct historical blunders,” he tweeted.
