Hinglaj Mata Temple declared a world tourism site.
The Balochistan government has declared the ancient Hinglaj Mata Temple in Lasbela district as a global tourism destination.
This initiative was discussed during a meeting between Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and Senator Danesh Kumar, where they explored ways to promote religious tourism for minority communities in the region. 
A sacred site for Hindus
The Hinglaj Mata Temple, a sacred site for Hindus—particularly in Balochistan—has been a place of worship for centuries. Each year, it attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees from within Pakistan and abroad.
The provincial leadership sees this move as part of a broader effort to encourage religious tourism and to showcase Balochistan’s cultural diversity and hospitality on an international level.
Chief Minister Bugti highlighted that Balochistan is a land that values cultural coexistence, and the temple represents the province’s historical depth, spiritual significance, and respect for all religions.
Meanwhile, the provincial government has allocated dedicated funds for the renovation of the temple and the improvement of surrounding infrastructure, as reflected in the latest budget.
