Event Summary

The India — Bihar State Transgender Welfare Board, under the state's Social Welfare Department, unanimously approved a proposal to build a temple dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Board member Lalan Singh proposed the temple, citing Modi's efforts to give the transgender community 'respect and rights.' The decision was made during the board's first meeting after the implementation of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019. The temple is planned for Patna, with the state government covering costs, though details on location and timeline are pending. A similar temple in Gujarat was previously disapproved by Modi.
