A year after construction began, the Ñandejára Guasu temple in Paraguay is still unfinished and falling into disrepair. The project, intended to be a significant cultural and religious landmark, has seen no progress, leaving locals frustrated and concerned.
The site, located in the department of Caaguazú, was meant to honor the Guarani deity Ñandejára Guasu. However, a year on, the structure is visibly deteriorating. The lack of advancement has sparked criticism from community members and local officials who question the management and execution of the project.
