In the heart of Jaipur, a city pulsating with history and cultural splendor, Khazana Mahal- Museum of Gem and Jewellery is set to host an extraordinary event that transcends the realms of spirituality and art. On the auspicious occasion of the pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla, an exclusive Pooja dedicated to the famed Ram Setu’s floating stones is scheduled for January 22 at the museum, located near Jalmahal.
For those who have only heard whispers about the mystical floating stones, Khazana Mahal offers a rare opportunity to not just witness but personally experience the divine energy associated with Ram Setu. The stones, said to have a celestial connection to Lord Shri Ram, will be the focal point of devotion during the special Pooja, inviting tourists and locals alike to immerse themselves in the spiritual ambiance.
Anoop Srivastava, the Founder Director of Khazana Mahal, shared the heartwarming story behind the collection of these floating stones. Originating from various parts of the country, the stones hold sentimental value as many were generously donated by individuals who cherished them for years. Anoop’s personal connection to the oldest stone, a 4 kg marvel collected by his father from Rameshwaram, adds a poignant touch to the exhibit.
The mystical power of these stones is not just folklore; Anoop attests to their ability to sink and then miraculously float again when immersed in water with devotion and chants of Lord Ram’s name. The belief in the stones carrying the divine touch of Lord Shri Ram further intensifies the spiritual experience for visitors.
January 22 marks the installation of Ramlala in Ayodhya, and to coincide with this sacred occasion, all seven Ram Setu stones at Khazana Mahal will be formally worshipped. Tourists and pundits alike will gather to participate in the divine celebration, creating a collective energy that resonates with devotion.
Adding to the celestial allure, a magnificent 13650 carat Ram Darbar statue, meticulously crafted from precious Ruby stone around 68 years ago, will also find its place in the museum. The unveiling of this exquisite piece promises to be a visual feast for art enthusiasts and spiritual seekers alike.
In a fascinating coincidence, the location of Khazana Mahal holds historical significance as the site where the first Ashwamedha Yagya of Kaliyuga took place in 1734, performed by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II. The echoes of this ancient ritual still reverberate through the altar and pond, narrating tales of a bygone era and the grand worship that unfolded on the sacred land. Lord Shri Ram, who also organized Ashwamedha Yagya, seems to have left an indelible mark on the very soil where Khazana Mahal stands today.
As the museum opens its doors to this divine extravaganza, blending spirituality, history, and art, it beckons visitors to partake in a unique journey from the earthly wonders of Ram Setu’s floating stones to the celestial beauty of the Ram Darbar.
Khazana Mahal stands not just as a repository of gems but as a testament to the confluence of cultural richness and divine mystique, inviting all to bask in the glow of Lord Shri Ram’s grace.
