The number of seating blocks for guests inside the Ram Temple complex has been increased from 15 to 19 for the flag-hoisting ceremony. Moreover, eight food courts have also been opened. However, Hanumangarhi priest Ramesh Das said there is no information about the Prime Minister visiting Hanumangarhi, even though he was earlier expected to come for darshan.
Before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival, every street, temple path, and household in the Ram city has begun to sparkle with divine decoration. Yet due to partial changes in the schedule, PM Modi will not visit Hanumangarhi this time.
The flag-hoisting ceremony sends a message of the temple’s completion, and since Raja Ram is now enthroned, the city is preparing with the same excitement as Ayodhya would have during Ram’s arrival. Meanwhile, priest Ramesh Das repeated that no official message has come regarding the PM’s visit to Hanumangarhi.
Additionally, the seating blocks inside the temple complex have now increased to 19, and on Sunday, workers continued placing chairs in each block. Moreover, entry passes with QR codes have begun to be distributed; once scanned, they will confirm the guest’s identity and allow entry into the temple.
Guests will start arriving from Monday (November 24). Furthermore, offices have been opened in Karsevak Puram and Teerth Kshetra Puram for their convenience. Separate offices have also been set up for the Awadh, Kashi, Gorakh, and Kanpur regions, and from these offices, guests will receive all essential guidance and support. Meanwhile, the temple trust has launched seven food courts across eight locations from Sunday.
At Sita Rasoi on Angad Teela, devotees are happily receiving Ram Lalla’s prasad. Later on Sunday night, a laser show rehearsal was also conducted, and scenes of Ram’s wedding were displayed on the temple’s shikhar and mandaps.
Ram Temple glowing with exotic flowers
The temple appears as if a heavenly garden has descended to earth. Flowers from Thailand, Vietnam, and other countries have filled the premises with a divine fragrance. Moreover, pink and white lilies, orchids, tulips, stars, dahlias, and many other flowers together give the temple a majestic aura.
In total, 50 quintals of flowers have been used for the temple premises, and another 30 quintals for decorating the Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanandacharya, and Madhvacharya gates. Therefore, around 80 quintals of Indian and foreign flowers have been used in the entire area.
Representatives From Many Communities to Attend
The RSS has put its full effort into preparations for the ceremony. Marathon meetings are continuing, and on Sunday (November 23), another meeting was held at the temple’s passenger facility center. During the meeting, the communities whose representatives will attend were also listed.
These include members of the Kahar, Bari, Baksor, Nai, Kumhar, Gaderiya, Lodhi, Yadav, Mali, Dhobi, Lohar, Tamoli, Pasi, Valmiki, Ravidas, Bahelia, Kasodhan, Nat, Kurmi, Sikh and several other communities. Besides them, guests from the Muslim, Sikh, and Jain communities have also been invited.
