Two massive Shaligram stones from the Gandaki river bank in Nepal have been brought to Ayodhya for the construction of idols in the Ram Temple. Talking about particular stone weighing each stone weighs around 14-15 tonnes – are expected to be used for the construction of Ram and Janaki idols.
Trust officials said that the two rocks in the Gandaki river at a place close to Saligrama or Muktinath (place of salvation) in Nepal’s Mustang district and are believed to be 60 million years old. The idol of Lord Rama in his child form carved from this stone will be placed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Temple.
The consignment was accompanied from Nepal by several officials including Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s national secretary Rajendra Singh Pankaj. The boulders reached India by January 31, setting off for Ayodhya by road after a break and some rituals. Visuals suggest that many had come out onto the streets to worship the boulders as they passed through the area.
Following the arrival of the Shaligram stones in Ayodhya, devotees willing to worship them have been asked to reach Ramsevak Puram by 10.30 pm. Ram Katha Kunj in Ramsevak Puram is an old workplace of the Ram Mandir.
