Vadodara, DeshGujarat

Ahead of annual budget, Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley is likely to visit Karnali village of central Gujarat that he has adopted under the ‘Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojna’.

Jaitley’s visit is likely to take place on 11 February. He will pay visit to historical Kuber Bhandari mandir here. Kuber is considered the God of wealth.

Jaitley has adopted Karnali group panchayat villages in Gujarat’s Vadodara district. Four villages of Karnali, Pipaliya, Vadiya and Banglipura are covered under Karnali group Panchayat of Dabhoi taluka.

Karnali attracts thousands of devotees of Lord Shiva who visit the Kuber Bhandari mandir here. This temple has the potential to emerge as a major tourist spot as lakhs of devotees visit it to offer prayers on the day of ‘amavasya’.

The total population of the four villages is 2,506 – Karnali (736), Pipaliya (717), Vadiya (631) and Baglipura (422).
