In a village in Banswara, a 125-year-old church has been transformed into a Bhairav temple. The walls of the church have been repainted, and the structure now serves as a Hindu place of worship. Around 200 villagers have reportedly converted from Christianity to Hinduism, marking a significant shift in the community’s religious identity.

Notably, the former church priest, Gautam Garasia, has now become the temple priest, overseeing the worship of Lord Bhairavnath. The conversion has sparked discussions about religious freedom and cultural transformation in the region. While some view it as a return to traditional roots, others raise concerns about the implications of such changes. The incident highlights the complex interplay of religion, culture, and identity in rural India.
