Amidst the influx of gifts, the spiritual expanse of the Ram Mandir becomes a nexus for international cooperation, illustrating how tradition and mutual respect tightly intertwine nations.
From Whom Do the Precious Gifts for Ayodhya's Ram Mandir Originate?
Citizens from every corner of the nation are gathering to witness the historic inauguration of Lord Ram's temple, and preparations for the consecration are in full swing. Ayodhya's revered deity is being bestowed with a plethora of unique and extraordinary gifts, a heartfelt symbol of people's deep respect and devotion.
Around 3,000 Gifts Sent from Sita's Home in Nepal
In anticipation of the inauguration of the Ram Mandir on January 22, Ayodhya has received over five hundred exquisitely crafted gift baskets from Janakpur, a city in Nepal believed to be the birthplace of Sita.
The beautifully adorned mementos were presented to Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirtha Trust General Secretary Champat Ray by Ram Roshan Das, the Mahantha of Janaki Temple in Janakpur. According to the Ramayana, Lord Ram wed Sita in Ayodhya, and her maiden name is Janaki.
Among the souvenirs were gold and silver items, furniture, clothing, fruits, cosmetics, and an array of delectable foods. These presents and mementos were carefully wrapped in vibrant linen and placed inside small bamboo buckets.
Champat Ray, the General Secretary of the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Tirtha Trust, expressed delight upon receiving a memento symbolising Sita's birthplace.
On Thursday, two trucks adorned with beautiful gifts and souvenirs made their journey from Janakpur to Ayodhya.
Earlier, Nepal presented two large Shaligrams to Ayodhya. Shaligrams are fossilised stones or ammonites discovered in the riverbed of the Kali Gandaki, a tributary of the Gandaki River in Nepal, believed to represent a form of Vishnu.
Gifts By Sri Lanka
A delegation from Sri Lanka visited Ayodhya, presenting the Ramjanmabhoomi with a rock associated with the legendary Ashok Vatika.
During Sita's captivity, she was confined to Ashok Vatika, a renowned garden from the Treta Yug era within Ravan's domain.
The garden is believed to be situated in the Hakgala Botanical Garden in Seetha Eliya, a town in the central region of Sri Lanka, near the resort town of Nuwara Eliya.
