After the construction of a wide courtyard next to the Supa Deurali temple, it has become easier for pilgrims to have darshan, worship and visit the temple.

Chairman of Lumbini State Assembly Physical Infrastructure Development Committee Ramji Prasad Ghimire inaugurated the courtyard on Wednesday.

It's easy now . After widening, the crowd of pilgrims in front of the temple has been removed. He said that the construction of the courtyard was completed at a cost of 1 crore 7 lakh rupees from the collection of temple offerings. According to him, more than two hundred devotees visit the temple daily. Devotees come in the number of one thousand on Friday and Saturday.

Along with this, Fars Bahadur Khatri, chairman of the temple management committee, said that other pre-dharas including Dharamshala are being built for the shrine.
