In Gadag’s Timmapur village, 300 women have pooled Rs 17 lakh from their Gruhalakshmi benefits to revive the stalled Rs 1-crore Renuka Yellamma temple. Following a seer’s appeal, 850 women pledged a month’s allowance. This initiative, aimed at economic empowerment, is expected to complete the temple in five months, potentially boosting local pilgrimage and tourism.
