The renovation of the renowned Shree Sundar narayan mandir, a state-protected monument in Nashik's Panchwati area, has been a long-awaited project.

Despite their repeated complaints, the contractor has continued the work, citing pressure to meet a strict deadline. This situation has led to frustration among the local community, who feel their concerns are being ignored.Also Read: Nashik: 18-Year-Old Bike Rider Dies After Collision with School Bus at Trimurti Chow kThe residents have also accused the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums of neglecting their important complaints. They argue that building a new structure on old, weak stones will compromise the temple’s stability and significantly reduce its lifespan. "We just want the reconstruction to avoid using old stones. New stones must be used. If we build a new structure on old, weak stones, the lifespan of the temple will be reduced," said Amey Pujari.The Sundarnarayan Mandir is a significant cultural and religious landmark, and the local community is deeply invested in its preservation.
