In preparation for the Pran Pratisthan program of Shri Ram in Ayodhya, a procession of 2100 oil barrels has been sent from Chhoti Kashi. A grand event unfolded at Chandpole Ganga Mata Temple where Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma flagged off the procession, including 2100 oil barrels, blankets, and packets of Prasad, headed to Ayodhya.
Elephants, horses, camels, and Saint Mahants on carts joined the procession, featuring the tableau of Ram Swarup. The mustard oil sent from Jaipur will be used to prepare Bhog in Ayodhya’s Sita Rasoi, which will operate for the next two months to serve the visitors of Ayodhya.
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma expressed the significance of contributing materials for Sita Rasoi, emphasizing that Lord Ram is an idol for all, residing in every pore. The country is filled with enthusiasm for the consecration of the Ram temple, making Ayodhya the world’s largest cultural centre.
The Chief Minister thanked the people of Jaipur for their participation in sending materials for the devotees attending the Ayodhya Mahotsav. During the event, he prayed for the happiness and prosperity of the state at Ram Darbar, accompanied by MP Ram Charan Bohra and Hawa Mahal MLA Balmukund Acharya.
Hawa Mahal MLA Balmukund Acharya highlighted the rarity of celebrating Diwali after 528 years, with the grand festival set for January 22.
He shared the auspiciousness of the Pran Pratistha time in Ayodhya, noting that Lord Ram’s birth, marriage, and Hanuman’s birth all align with Tuesday, making it an especially propitious occasion for Lord Ram to sit in the palace.
In response to the politicization of Ramlala’s program by national parties, Acharya targeted the opposition, including the Congress. He criticized them for being against Ramji from the beginning, referring to their past statements and actions. Acharya emphasized that the country and its people are aware of the character of these opposition parties, accusing them of working against the nation’s interests.
