Gold and silver offerings to be melted
Notably, the devotees have generously donated gold and silver items, which pose a storage challenge. To address this, the Trust has decided to melt these offerings with the assistance of a renowned organization. The progress made so far in the construction of the Ram Temple is a significant milestone in fulfilling the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) promise to the Hindus.
One hundred quintals of rice for Akshat Puja
One hundred quintals of whole grain rice, ordered by the Trust, would be utilised in the “Akshat Puja” and subsequently given to Lord Ram devotees across the nation.
As part of the ceremonies, one quintal of desi ghee and ground turmeric has also been ordered, and these will be combined with the rice. Upon colouring the “Akshat” (rice), it will be preserved in a brass “Kalash” and offered up before Lord Ram’s court on November 5 during the puja. The rice will thereafter be distributed via the institutional framework of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).
