It is also the location where he taught the Pandavas and Kauravas. In 1872, Singha Bharat, who was a ardent devotee of Shitala Devi (the wife of Drona), constructed the current temple.[1] Singha Bharat had donated a lot of land towards Dronacharya-related structures. Over the years, the Drona temple became larger and went from one room to two rooms.[2] The temple is currently maintained by five families that live near the temple. Often, visitors from the more famous Sheetla Mata Temple also visit the Dronacharya Temple.The temple is located near other important sites related to the Mahabharata in Gurugram, such as the Gurugram Bhima Kund (where Drona bathed), the Ekalavya temple, and a temple of Lord Shiva that was built by the Pandavas.Structure[edit]The temple has two rooms and is located on the corner of a street. It is painted pink. In the middle of the temple is a tall statue of Drona. Statues of other Hindu deities surround the Drona statue. The back wall has paintings that depict Dronacharya teaching his students.

They expected that more tourists would come to the Drona temple. To increase tourism, the villagers have demanded that a local tourism circuit be developed with encompasses the Dronacharya temple, the Ekalavya temple, and other nearby sites.[3]References[edit]TopicsDistricts and divisionsMajor citiesCultureEconomySarasvati civilization (Indus Valley civilization \u2013 IVC)ArchaeologicalBaoli (Stepwells)sBuddhist and HIndu SitesHaveliNangal SirohiHemu Ki Haveli in RewariNoor Mahal in KarnalGurugram: (Sikanderpur, Mohammadpur Jharsa, 12 Biswa haveli in Gurgaon gaon, Mahalwala haveli in 8 Biswa of Gurgaon gaon)FortsHillsCavesHistoricalNational Parks & Wildlife Sanctuaries of HaryanaEndangered Wildlife BreedingZoos in HaryanaHerbal ParksLakesDamsRiversReligiousOfficesPublic placesExtreme Corners of HaryanaHighest-lowest of HaryanaOldest of HaryanaElectionsChief MinistersGovernorsState agenciesDakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran NigamDebt Conciliation BoardDoordarshan HaryanaForeign Investment and NRI CellForests Department, HaryanaDepartment of Economic and Statistical Analysis, HaryanaDepartment of Environment, HaryanaDepartment of Excise & Taxation, HaryanaDepartment of Finance, HaryanaDepartment of Industries & Commerce, HaryanaDepartment of Industrial Training & Vocational Education, HaryanaDepartment of Institutional Finance & Credit Control, HaryanaDepartment of Labour & Employment, HaryanaDepartment of Land records & Consolidation, HaryanaDepartment of Revenue and Disaster Management, HaryanaDepartment of Rehabilitation, HaryanaDepartment of Higher Education, HaryanaDepartment of School Education, HaryanaDepartment of Elementary Education, HaryanaHaryana Board of School EducationHaryana Civil Medical ServicesHaryana Environment Protection CouncilHaryana Land Record Information SystemHaryana Power Generation Corporation LimitedHaryana PoliceHaryana RoadwaysHaryana Seeds Development CorporationHaryana State Directorate of Archaeology & MuseumsHaryana State Legal Services Authority, HaryanaHaryana Tourism Corporation LimitedHaryana Urban Development AuthorityHaryana Waqf BoardState Counselling Board, HaryanaUttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/dronacharya-temple-gurugram-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Dronacharya Temple, Gurugram – Wikipedia"}}]}]
