This switch to a lightweight, breathable fabric reflects a thoughtful consideration of God's comfort during the hot months ahead.
Ram Lala, a 51-inch tall revered statue depicting the youthful form of Lord Rama, popularly known as 'Palak Ram', has been carved from a rare three-billion-year-old black stone by the master craftsman of Mysuru, Arun Yogiraj.
The Pran Pratishtha ceremony of this divine deity was held on January 22, 2024.
Meanwhile, ahead of the upcoming Ram Navami celebrations, the Hanumangarhi temple administration held a meeting on Friday to discuss arrangements for devotees, temple officials said.
The Ayodhya district administration and police also attended the meeting, they added.
The officials discussed provisions for the provision of drinking water and arrangements, paying special attention to the provision of toilets to ensure that devotees do not burn their feet in the summer heat.
A Hanumangarhi temple management meeting was held after some devotees lost consciousness due to heat and lack of water.
The meeting witnessed the participation of senior Hanumangarh saints, Sankat Mochan Sena national president Sanjay Das, Ayodhya Mayor Girishpati Tripathi, Ayodhya circle officer, senior police officers and officials from the municipal corporation.
The police department and the mayor of Ayodhya assured that visitors will not face any problems and all arrangements will be in place during Ram Navami for the convenience of devotees.
Meanwhile, thousands of devotees continued to throng Ayodhya after Lord Ram Lalla's Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Many people visit Hanumangarhi Ram Temple every day and the number of their visits is increasing rapidly.
