Almost a month after mid-day reported on the management of Babulnath Mandir appointing IIT Bombay (IIT-B) to look into cracks that had supposedly developed in its Shivling, the former has concluded that there are no cracks on the sacred object. The premier institute has shared its recommendations based on its findings with the temple’s trust to prevent possible damage to the 350-year-old Shivling.

A Babulnath Mandir trustee had told mid-day that the Shivling was showing signs of weathering due to the doodh (milk) abhishek.
