History of the Temple
The Shree Leelari Thakurdwara Temple, located in Mau district, Uttar Pradesh, is believed to be nearly 600–700 years old. Built by our ancestors with Lahori bricks, lime, carved red sandstone, and teakwood beams, the temple once stood as a center of faith and devotion. It is not only a sacred place of worship but also an important cultural and archaeological heritage.

The Temple’s Tragic State
With the passage of time, the temple slowly crumbled.

Stones and debris fell from the walls and roof.

Worship became unsafe.

Eventually, the collapsing structure damaged the sanctum, leaving the idols of Shree Ram Ji, Mata Sita Ji, Lakshman Ji, Radha-Krishna Ji, Hanuman Ji, and Mata Anjana Ji broken and fragmented.

Today, these sacred deities are placed under a fragile tin shed. This sight is heartbreaking for every devotee who comes to bow their head in prayer.
