Official social channels

The Shri Ekvira Devasthan Trust maintains these public profiles. They are the most reliable place to look for official notices, festival updates and announcements:

No official phone or email is confirmed yet. We have not been able to verify a dedicated telephone number or email address for the temple or the Trust, so we do not publish one here to avoid sending you to an unverified contact. Until an official line is confirmed, please reach out through the social channels above, or report a detail that needs fixing on the Report a Correction page.
