GHF has built strong relationships with each level of government, the communities and with local business leaders including UNESCO World Heritage Centre South Asia, the Governors and Ministers of each State and key federal officers and Ministers, local site directors and their staff, and local mayors and business leaders. GHF is also monitoring plans for regional tourism and infrastructure development at each site and region- ie. airports, roads, hotels, national and state investment.
The local community of Anegundi has supplied skilled stonemasons and other craftsmen to work on the project, as well as local boatmen who ferry people up and down the river on coracle boats. Another group benefitting from GHF’s involvement are the religions pilgrims and the religious sadhus living in the ashram on the site. Now they can access the ashram more easily as the temple steps have been reset.
