"Have seen the news about a temple being built in my name. I was appalled. This is shocking and against India's great traditions. Building such temples is not what our culture teaches us," the PM tweeted.
Modi, in his tweets, advised those behind the idea of building a temple in his name to devote their time and resources towards fulfilling the dream of a Clean India.
"Personally, it made me very sad. Would urge those doing it not to do it. If you have time and resources, please devote the same towards fulfilling our dream of a Clean India," the Prime Minister said.
Soon after Modi tweeted, Ramesh Undhad, the man behind making of the temple in the name of Narendra Modi in Rajkot, decided to cancel its inauguration and cover the bust.
"We felt pained that we hurt sentiments of our 'God' (Modi) and after his displeasure we have covered his idol installed at the temple," group leader Ramesh Undhad said, adding it will soon be removed.
Another member of the group Jayesh Patel said the temple will now be dedicated to 'Bharat Mata', whose idol will be installed at the shrine which has cost Rs seven lakh to build.
Modi's idol in the temple at Rajkot
On Wednesday, reports had surfaced that supporters of Modi had built a temple dedicated to him near Rajkot in Gujarat.
The temple, with a bust of Modi in the sanctum, stands on Kothariya road in Rajkot.
The Kothariya gram panchayat had given a 350 sq yard plot to the group about ten years back for construction of a 'Bharat Mata' temple. But, the group later decided to build a temple dedicated to Modi.
