It is a two-decade-old temple located on top of a hill in the county.
The co-founder of the temple, Vaibhavi Devi, said that over the past several days, 20–30 bullets were fired at the temple building and the surrounding property.
The incidents occurred during nighttime hours while devotees and guests were present inside, and have caused thousands of dollars in structural damage, including to the temple's hand-carved arches, Vaibhavi Devi Dasi said in a statement issued on Monday, June 30.
