On January 4, 2025, a fire severely damaged the Guruji Mandir on Sayers Road in Hoppers Crossing, Melbourne. In response, the local community has come together to support its restoration, with a temporary place of worship set up at the Wyndham City College Community Hall. In this podcast, SBS Hindi interviews a temple representative and a devotee about their experiences during the recovery process.
