Hey!
here is ur answer....
My name is Temple Jiyajan located in the city of Varanasi close to the might Gangis river sacred to Hindus all over the world.
My construction started way back in approx. 1048 AD when a visiting Nepalese Hindu King wanted to built a new grand temple for him, his family and his entourage. I remember, when the first brick was laid, over 500,000 people came to the festival and the King of Nepal himself put my first brick in place.There was much fanfare which last 3 days as the initial works had started. The plan was to finish my construction within 1 year, a big feat for a temple that was destined to have a capacity for 10,000 attendees.However, fate had something else in store for me. After 2 months of construction the king of Nepal died and a civil war broke out between the warring factions of his sons,all of whom claimed the throne of Nepal
The civil war went on for another 3 years but until then, the little construction that was built was already in ruins. Thieves and smugglers got to know about the stalled site and stole valuable bricks, stones and marble, leaving only old bricks.
The Civial war resulted in the eldest price claiming the throne over his younger brothers. After this, as was customary, the new Nepalese King went out on a tour of other kingdoms to build new bonds, including meeting the Kind of Iran, Maldvies and later in Delhi Sultanate.
He finally arrived in Varansai for a religious pilgrimage, exactly 7 years after my construction has started. It was the year 1055 A.D. He was a younger man when my construction began and came to see me. I was by then known as the Nepalese Temple, that's what everyone called me.
He came to visit me and ordered his chief engineer to continue my construction in the memory of his late father and make the biggest and most beautiful temple in all of Varanasi. From the next day, my construction began but it took almost 10 years, until I was built.
It was 1065 AD and the king traveled all the way from Katmandu to officially open me to the Public. Even the King of India came all the way from Delhi for this big festival which lasted a week, where over 1 million people were fed and dances and parties conducted.I was now popularly known as the Nepal King Temple. What a might site I was, with thousands and thousands of Hindus coming to me every day.
I remember, I was so popular that people from far away lands used to come visit me. I was open 7 days a week, 24 hours, but I clearly remember the day I was closed for 3 days. It was a sad day, when the King of Nepal who has ordered my construction to be completed passed away.
The mourning period was 3 days but many people stayed in home for 2 weeks, in the memory of the great king who fed over 1 million people.
This was exactly 1075 AD and after this death another civil war broke out in Nepal. This war took place between the chiefs since the last king did not have a son, and so was particularly , lasting over 10 years.
During this time, all endowments from Nepal which came to maintain me halted and I was left on the mercy of poor people of Varanasi, who tried there best, but could not afford to keep me in the same grand fashion as the King of Nepal.
As the Civil war lasted ten years, and I lost direct connection with Nepal, By 1085 AD, I was known as the Apna Temple (Our Temple) because the poor took care of, remembering that it was because of me that over 1 million were fed in a day.
Those were the last days of glory. Other princes from Bhopal, Tamil Nadu, Sir Lanka, West Bengal had started to build their own palaces and temples in Varanasi, showing off their wealth and ironically their devotion to Hinduism by spending more and more money.Within the next 100 years, or 1185 AD, I was just one of many grand temples, but I was not even grand anymore. Frequently maintained and visited by poor people I was now known as the 'Ghareeb Mandir' or the Temple of the poor.
Hence, I was only attracting poor people but I kind of felt nice, since these were the people who really needed me. Many homeless people used me to sleep at night and many women brought their daughters to me when they had no where else to do.
And this went on for another 2 centuries. As the city built up, I was now located in the 'old city' behind major buildings and my entrance was through an alley, secluded from mainstream varanasi life. I was beginning to have a legend based around me now and many poor people from as far away as Thailand came to visit me, which obviously annoyed the other bigger temples, because they were only open to Kings
However, I also remember the day where many of my temple friends were destroyed when a Rajput King laid siege to Varanasi in retaliation to Delhi Sultanate. Thousands of people were passed away that day, many of whom had been regular visitors to me. Many of brother temples were set on fire as the Rajputs conquered the city.
