On May 25, 2025, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited Patiala's historic Sri Kali Mata Mandir to pay obeisance and announce an ambitious revival plan. The initiative includes rejuvenating the long-dry sarovar through desilting, waterproofing, and aesthetic enhancements. Plans also involve reopening the back gate, restoring all temple entrances, and introducing a daily langar service for underprivileged devotees.
