The Madhya Pradesh Shree Ganpati Mandir Khajrana, Indore Adhiniyam, 2003

General200345 sections

This Act regulates the management and administration of the Shree Ganpati Mandir Khajrana, Indore, and its associated properties. It applies to the entire temple area, including land, buildings, idols, and all movable or immovable endowments dedicated to the shrine. It matters because it establishes a comprehensive legal framework that takes precedence over older laws like the Religious Endowments Act and supersedes prior management arrangements or deeds. By defining clear roles for an administrator and a committee, the legislation ensures the temple's religious and charitable functions are properly preserved and maintained.
