Special rituals related to laying the foundation stone for Sri Rama temple at the same spot where the black stone for the Ayodhya idol was found, will be performed at Gujjegowdanapura, in Jayapura hobli of Mysuru district on Monday.
The ceremonies will be performed from 6.30 a.m. and Chamundeshwari MLA G.T. Deve Gowda and community leaders of the village and surrounding areas will be present.
The black stone or ‘’Krishna Shile’’ was found while levelling the agricultural land of Mr. Ramdas and a local contractor who assessed the quality of the stone, drew the attention of the temple trustees at Ayodhya through his contacts. On assessment, it was found to be of superior quality and was selected for sculpting the idol of Sri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya.
