The Sagrada Familia is a unique temple known for its origins, foundation, and purpose. Designed by the brilliant architect Antoni Gaudi, the project has been a symbol of community support and progress for over 140 years.
Despite the positive engagement, Hemant Soren’s visit to Spain has faced criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party. State President and Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi questioned the timing and purpose of the trip, pointing out challenges back home in Jharkhand.
