| One of them,
Mandan Mishra, lived at Maheshi village and had a great philosophic discussion
withSankaracharya. There are quite a few old seats of temples scattered throughout the
district. But all this dismal picture is likely to change as the Kosi has been chained in
1963 by an immense barrage and the flood water will now be running through canals for
irrigation purposes. Lakhs of acres of land in Nepal and the districts of India like
Saharsa, Purnea and Darbhanga will he Irrigated. Roads are being constructed and the
railway communication is being made more secure.
It is expected that the economy of the district will substantially change in the course
of a decade from now. It speaks a lot for the religiosity of Hindu India that inspite of
the generations of the people of this district fighting against death, disease, starvation
and frustration, the Mahadeo temple at Singheshwar acted as a beacon light and a source of
inspiration by drawing pilgrims in their myriad’s from even far beyond tile confines
of Saharsa district. |
