Another popular story says – One time, when Banda Shah called a mason to assess what would be needed to start the construction of the temple, a fly fell into one of the ghee containers. Banda Shah picked out the fly, rubbed it on his shoes so that the ghee did not waste, and then threw the fly away. Seeing this, the mason thought that he was very stingy with money, and so asked him to construct the temple with ghee instead of water. The mason argued that the construction would be more sturdy and would not crack for a long time. He also claimed that the whole temple would need atleast 40,000 kg of Ghee to complete.
And so, the next day, Banda Shah presented the mason with all the Ghee required. The mason became flustered and confessed that he only did it to test Banda Shah as he thought that he was very stingy with his money.
Banda Shah, although furious, said that as he had already donated the ghee in the name of God, he cannot take it back and so the construction has to start with it now.
