✓ Firstly, a Hindu temple which attracts many visitors every year due to its deep religious significance.
The article 'A' should be in lowercase 'a' because it is in the middle of the sentence and not a proper noun. Articles should not be capitalized unless they start a sentence.
× Secondly, there is historical monument dedicated to a freedom fighter, Bhagat Singh, which adds A cultural heritage to my hometown.
✓ Secondly, there is a historical monument dedicated to a freedom fighter, Bhagat Singh, which adds a cultural heritage to my hometown.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'historical monument' and 'cultural heritage'. Articles are necessary before singular countable nouns to specify them properly.
× The thing that I like the most about my hometown is peaceful and serene environment that boosts lush greenery and refreshing atmosphere.
✓ The thing that I like the most about my hometown is the peaceful and serene environment that boasts lush greenery and a refreshing atmosphere.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'the' before 'peaceful and serene environment' because it refers to a specific environment. Also, 'boosts' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'boasts' meaning 'possesses or displays'. Additionally, 'refreshing atmosphere' needs the article 'a' before it.
× In addition to that, there are several outstanding gardens in my hometown which provide me a perfect place to soothe my mind and revitalize my body after a hectic schedule.
✓ In addition to that, there are several outstanding gardens in my hometown which provide me with a perfect place to soothe my mind and revitalize my body after a hectic schedule.
The verb 'provide' requires the preposition 'with' when indicating the thing being provided. So, 'provide me a perfect place' should be 'provide me with a perfect place'.

✓ Well, I consider my hometown an ideal place for those people who prefer a peaceful and serene environment and want to live away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The verb 'want' should agree with the plural subject 'those people', so it should be 'want' not 'wants'. Also, 'a city life' is incorrect; 'city life' is an uncountable noun and does not need an article.
× Moreover, it is located on the outskirts of a big city, so we can access to all the modern facilities and amenities available in the city.
✓ Moreover, it is located on the outskirts of a big city, so we can access all the modern facilities and amenities available in the city.
The verb 'access' is transitive and does not require the preposition 'to' after it. Therefore, 'access to all the modern facilities' should be 'access all the modern facilities'.
