This is part of the larger process wherein the federal government is transferring the charge of historical sites and monuments, including the Lahore Fort and the mausoleum of 17th century Mughal emperor Jehangir, to the PAD. The Katas Raj temple complex, which has fallen into disrepair, had parts of it cemented over prior to the Pakistan visit last year by LK Advani.
One of the temples had even been converted into a library. According to Jan, the PAD had improved the condition of the temples considerably. The temple complex is located on a hill six kilometres from Choa Saidan Shah in Chakwal district. It finds mention in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
