For Matibar Rehman, lord Shiva is like his maternal grandfather. He even calls him nana as he looks after a temple dedicated to the deity.

As per reports from ANI, the temple is said to be 500-year-old and is located in the Rangamahal village of Guwahati and many generations of Matibar’s family have been in charge of taking care of the place that has now become a symbol of communal harmony.
