Several unique gifts have been sent to the temple authorities in Ayodhya in preparation for the event that will dedicate the Ram temple. The religious enthusiasm around the event is growing as gifts from all over the country and even from other countries are sent. The gifts are unique and important and come from all over the country.
Sri Lanka and Nepal gifts
The place where Sita was born, Janakpur, in Nepal, sent more than 3,000 gifts to Ayodhya for Lord Ram. Gifts like silver shoes, ornaments, and clothes were brought in a parade of about 30 cars. Besides that, a group of people from Sri Lanka came to Ayodhya with a special gift from Achyuta. In the classic Ramayana, Ravan wooed Sita in a garden that they showed off.
Gifts for the Temple
As a festive gift, the temple received a 108-ft, 3,610-kg incense stick produced in Vadodara, Gujarat, over six months. Guggul, coconut shells, ghee, cow dung, and flowers make this eco-friendly incense stick. A month and a half later, the smell will reach many kilometres.
A 2,100-kg bell made of a blend of eight metals, a 400-kg lock and key that stands 10 feet tall, a clock that shows time in nine countries at the same time, and a 1,000-kg lamp are some of the other gifts that stand out. When people and groups give these gifts, it shows how dedicated and creative they are.
People who are going to the consecration event are also getting a variety of foods to eat. The Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan in Mathura will send 200 kg of laddu as a gift for a "yagya," and Chef Vishnu Manohar from Nagpur will make 7,000 kg of "Ram Halwa," a traditional sweet pie. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams will also send one lakh laddus to give to obedient people.
Clothes and jewellery
Surat, which is a major textile hub, will send a special saree to the temple officials that has pictures of Lord Ram and the Ayodhya temple on it. Lord Ram's wife, Sita, is supposed to wear this saree. The Ram Mandir Trust also got a diamond chain with the shape of the Ram temple on it. It was made with 5,000 American diamonds and 2 kg of silver.
Support from Devoters
People who care about the temple have gone to great lengths to help it. In order to give Lord Ram gold-plated shoes, Challa Srinivas Sastry, who was from Hyderabad, walked almost 8,000 km to Ayodhya. Arvindbhai Mangalbhai Patel, a farmer from Vadodara, invented a huge fan-made lamp that weighs 1,100 kg.
Along with the other gifts, there was a lot of excitement and devotion during the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. People respect and hope for the grand temple and what it means to India's religion and cultural history through these symbols.
