Mumbai: On January 22, the pranpratishtha ceremony was held with enthusiasm at the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya. A day later, on Tuesday, a new record has been set for the rush of devotees to visit Ram Lalla. On the very first day, 5 lakh devotees visited the temple. There is still a long queue of devotees to offer prayers in Ayodhya and a large number of people are coming to Ayodhya in four-wheelers. Meanwhile, the entire Cabinet of the Maharashtra government will also visit Ayodhya soon to pay obeisance to Ram Lalla.
Devotees have been thronging the temple since early Tuesday morning to offer prayers at Ram Lalla, prompting the administration to strengthen security. Meanwhile, there have also been reports of minor injuries to some people. In such a situation, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath first reviewed the situation through live streaming from Lucknow itself. He also appealed to people to come to Ayodhya after a few days to offer prayers. The temple's treasurer Govindgiri Maharaj has also appealed to the ram devotees of the country to stop for a while to pay obeisance to Ram Lalla. On the other hand, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister, and all the ministers of the state cabinet will visit Ayodhya to offer prayers.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar will visit Ayodhya to offer prayers. They are said to visit in the 1st week of January, with the 5th as a probable date. Therefore, Maharashtra can become the first state to visit Ram Lalla with an entire cabinet.
