Ramadas, the owner of the land from where the black stones known as ‘’Krishna Shile’’ were extracted for sculpting the Ram Lalla idol at Ayodhya, said that he and his family consider it their fortune that the Ayodhya idol has been sculpted from the stones found on their land.
The stone was extracted from his land in Gujjegowdanapura in Jayapura hobli in the Mysuru district. G.T. Deve Gowda, Chamundeshwari MLA, announced that a temple for Sri Rama will be built there.
‘’A portion of the stone was protruding outward and was impeding agriculture. Hence, we wanted the land to be levelled for cultivation. But as the land was dug up it led to a massive boulder underneath and was removed with cranes,” said Ramadas.
