Ancient Himalayan rocks that are found in Nepal should be considered for the making of the idol of Lord Ram in the upcoming temple in Ayodhya, a group of eminent citizens from Nepal has suggested.
Former Deputy Prime Minister and senior Nepali Congress leader Bimlendra Nidhi, who represents this group, visited Ayodhya earlier this month and proposed that apart from the specific Himalayan rock for the idol, the people of Janakpur would also like to gift a metallic “Shiv Dhanush” that would be on display at the temple complex.
“I visited the Kali Gandaki river and did a survey of the types of ancient rocks that are found in the area and came to the conclusion there are indeed a wide variety of high-grade rocks that can be considered for the making of the idol of Lord Ram at Ayodhya,” Mr. Nidhi told The Hindu.
