Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Wednesday flagged off 2,100 cooking oil drums and a ‘Ram Durbar’ procession, heading to ‘Sita Rasoi’ (Sita’s kitchen) in Ayodhya. The oil will be used for cooking the food to be served to the devotees attending the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple on January 22 and afterwards.
Mr. Sharma signalled the start of the procession after offering prayers to Ram Durbar at Ganga Mata temple in Chandpole locality here in the presence of Jaipur City MP Ramcharan Bohra, Hawa Mahal MLA Balmukund Acharya and a large number of priests, monks, religious preachers, and the BJP leaders.
“The consecration ceremony of Lord Ram’s idol in Ayodhya has generated a great fervour and enthusiasm all over the country. The people of Rajasthan have become partners in the noble cause of sending food material for the devotees… It is a matter of immense pride for us,” Mr. Sharma said.
