| Issues
requiring global attention for conservation, protection
and improvement of the temple: |
|
Since
the temple is a rare work of art and not many temples
are dedicated to Lord Laxman are found, this Laxman
temple and also the Laxman temple of Deeg must be
declared heritage temples. Since the Deeg temple of
Laxmanji is older, it requires immediate repair work to
prevent it from decay and destruction. The Laxman
temples must be dearly preserved.
