This is a non-notable building. There do not appear to be any reliable sources on it in the English-language. A search on Google produced no hits. The two "citations" in the article are to a Wikipedia article and a blog. -- Toddy1 (talk) 21:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since the above was written, the creator of the article has added eight citations to news sources, but the article does not use the information in these eight news sources. They are just padding to make it look as though the temple was notable.

Citations [1], [5], [7] and [8] are about local protests about encroachment or seizure of temple land; I think it they are probably about the same temple as the Wikipedia article, though they give it a different name. There is not enough information to understand the dispute (or maybe Google translate is just not good enough).

[1] This is to a news story in Sylhet news, 20 February 2019, "Human chain demanding rescue of temple site in Lakhai", and concerns a temple called the "Gopal Jiu Ashram". It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
[2] This is sanatantv.live, which is a spiritual channel ran by Sanatan India Networking Pvt. Ltd.
[3] A Bengali Wikipedia article that has two "citations": (a) to sanatantv.live, and (b) to an English-language Wikipedia article.
[4] This is a blog post. It is not a reliable source.
[5] This is a news story in dainikbanglarodhikar.com, 26 June 2020, "Lakhai of Habiganj accused of grabbing the 163-year-old Shree Shee Gopal Ashram - Daily Bangla's Odhikar", and concerns a temple called the "Gopal Jiu Ashram". The content contradicts some of the information it is cited for in the Wikipedia article.
[6] This another citation to sanatantv.live, a spiritual channel ran by Sanatan India Networking Pvt. Ltd.
[7] This is a news story in amadernikli.com, 20 February 2019, "Human chain to free the land of ashram in Lakhai". It contains similar content to citation [1]. It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
[8] This is a news story in the Habiganj Express, 20 February 2019, "Human chain to free the encroachment of ashram land in Lakhai". The photograph in the news article suggests that it is about the same temple as the Wikipedia article. It contains similar content to citation [1]. It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
[9] This is a news article in the Daily Khaborer Alo, 6 September 2023, "Appearance of Lord Krishna is celebrated in Lakhair". It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
[10] This is a news article in the Daily Khaborer Alo, 11 December 2022, "Sri Sri Rasbihari Katia Maharaj is coming to Sylhet". It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
[11] This is a news article in protidinbangladesh24.com, dated "2 weeks ago": "Mangal Shobhayatra on the occasion of Lord Krishna's '5249th' auspicious Janmashtami in four districts". It does not support any of the information it is cited for, and none of the information in the news story is used in the Wikipedia article.
