Ayodhya. Amidst the Lok Sabha elections, when President Draupadi Murmu reached Ayodhya with her family in an Indian Air Force plane, many meanings are being inferred from her visit. At present this visit of the President was completely religious. He spent four hours in Ramnagari. During this time she remained engrossed in rituals. Through her expressions she also showed that she had come only to immerse herself in the faith of Ayodhya.
Be it Hanumangarhi or Ramlala, he presented himself in the posture of a devotee. All the rituals were followed to worship Maa Saryu on the banks of Saryu. When she reached Hanumangarhi, she performed the aarti of Hanumanthala. The President was standing with her eyes closed, head bowed and hands folded, it seemed as if she was making a wish to Hanuman ji. On reaching Saryu coast, he first anointed Mother Saryu with milk and Panchamrit and also offered Chunari. The President was seen following the method given by the priest with devotion. Amidst the praises of Jai Saryu Mata, Maiya Jai Saryu Mata, Maha Aarti of 2100 lights of Maa Saryu was performed.
Aarti coordinators Mahant Shashikant Das and Mahant Manish Das gave prasad to the President. After spending about 30 minutes here, she reached Ramlala’s court. The President spent more than an hour at the Ramjanmabhoomi complex.
Shiva was also worshiped along with Ram.
When she reached the court of President Ramlala, she got immersed in the wonderful image of child Ram. The divine image of Ramlala looked beautiful in green jeweled clothes. Here Ramlala was worshiped with full rituals. Ram Mandir Trustee Dr. Anil Mishra and Mahant Dinendra Das greeted the President. Ramnaami clothes, model of the temple and Prasad of Ramlala were offered to the President on behalf of the Trust. The family members present with him and Governor Anandi Ben Patel were also felicitated by the Trust. After having darshan of Ramlala, the President also performed the consecration and worship of Lord Shiva. She went to Kuber Tila and ritually consecrated Kubereshwar Mahadev here.
Multigrain Roti and Paneer Paratha served
After visiting Hanumangarhi, the President rested for an hour at Saryu Guest House. Here he had lunch in the afternoon. In lunch, he was served multigrain roti, cow ghee, potato and cheese paratha. About 20 people attended the lunch with him. Its responsibility was given to Uttar Pradesh Tourism Corporation, the arrangements were being monitored by Minister in-charge Surya Pratap Shahi.
Governor welcomed at the airport
Upon the President’s arrival at Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, he was welcomed by Governor Anandi Ben Patel. Also, senior army officers including Minister in-charge Surya Pratap Shahi, ADG Zone Amarendra Singh Sengar, IG Praveen Kumar, Divisional Commissioner Gaurav Dayal, District Magistrate Nitish Kumar, SSP Rajkaran Nayyar were present. During this, everyone greeted him by giving him rose flowers.
President reached the sanctum sanctorum of Ram temple
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra has given a befitting reply to those who said that they were not invited to the consecration ceremony of Ram temple because they belonged to a special category. The first citizen of the country has got the opportunity to reach near the idol of Shri Ram Lala. Till now, apart from the Prime Minister, only Archakas have been reaching at the time of consecration. It is understood that Rahul Gandhi had said that President Draupadi Murmu should not be invited to the consecration ceremony and the reason for this was said to be her belonging to a particular class. After this, the General Secretary of the pilgrimage area Champat Rai had expressed a sharp reaction on this. The President got to go near the Shri Vigraha in the sanctum sanctorum under special arrangement where only Archakas reach and the Prime Minister reached at the time of Pran Pratistha.
