The residents of Heravanadu, Avandoor and Bettageri on Tuesday contributed their bit to the restoration of a Shiva temple, which was explored recently.

The Madurappa Shiva temple at Heravanadu was destroyed during the invasion of Tipu Sultan, and was left in that state since then. However, in an attempt to restore the temple's lost glory, the villagers began clearing the debris around the temple.

From dawn to dusk, men, women and children in and around Heravanadu conducted the shramadana and gave a new look to the ancient Shiva temple. Unwanted shrubs around the two acre land were completely removed.

The villagers involved in the shramadana told The Times of India, that the first step for the temple's renovation had begun. Now, it was left to the concerned authorities to take further action, they added.
