The name of the tample shown in above screenshot is Shri Augharnath Mandir but commonly it is known as Kali Palton Mandir.

Now my query is

  1. Bouth the names have been added there. Is it right practice OR we should right both the names at one place
  2. If the name has been written in Hindi language while adding a place and someone is searching by typing in English then whether the place will appear in search

If the place is the same there should only be one pin on Google Maps, @2401 .

Each pin has many name fields = one for each language.

Above you can see three name fields. The lower one is my my language called Danish.

In India i have seen many examples where Hindi and English names are mixed up, or both names added in the same field. This happens when people are not aware that they need to fill both fields separately. You may need to change the app language to see both fields.

If thee are two separate pins for the same place they should be merged.

You could take a look at my notes on Merge Workflow.
