What FACTLY found

he photo shows Hindus (Zahid Kumar and his sons) worshipping in the Goraknath Temple (Peshawar – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). However, the Goraknath Temple is not the only remaining Lord Shiva temple in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (as claimed in the post). There is another Shiva temple in Mansehra city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Also, not all persons visiting the Goraknath Temple wore skull caps in other visuals related to the temple
