Patna: Work is set to start soon to build what could well be the world's largest Hindu temple -- in Bihar. Those behind the idea say no more hurdles are left for the construction to begin after Holi festival next year, now that the original plan was modified following objections from the Cambodian government.

"We modified our original plan after Cambodia raised objection to our Viraat Ramayan Mandir, saying it is a replica of Angkor Wat," Acharya Kishore Kunal of the Patna-based Mahavir Mandir Trust told IANS. "We are set to start work after Holi, which will be an auspicious time," he said.
