Nepal Plans various events for Ram Temple Consecration Ceremony
“Our daughter, Mata Janaki was married to Lord Shri Ram. We are very elated and proud that the consecration of Ramlala will take place at Ayodhya. People of Janakpur were very happy when the Supreme Court of India had declared its final verdict (in the Ayodhya matter),” Nepal’s former deputy prime minister Bimalendra Nidhi said on Saturday.
“For the people of Janakpur, Shri Ram is not just a deity but also their son-in-law. People are happy that their daughter and the son-in-law are entering their own house,” added Nidhi, a senior Nepali Congress leader.
“Nepal is situated between India and China. Both India and China have an influence on Nepal and vice versa. However, in comparison, India has a deep cultural, geographical, and political connect with Nepal,” he said.
India and Nepal have “roti-beti” relationships, which means they trade and marry. But China does not, he said. In his town, Ram Ashish Yadav, an MLA from the Dhanusha district of Janakpur, said that every Ram and Sita temple would have religious events on the day of the event. He also said that on January 22, 1,25,000 lamps would be lit at the Janaki temple and that there would be several stage shows based on the Ramayana.
He also said that a beautiful aarti would be held for Lord Ram and Sita. There will be celebrations all over the Madhesh area, which is in the Terai belt between Nepal’s plains and hills.
Yadav also said that religious tourism will increase in Janakpur after Ram temple consecration. “Janakpur Dham got a new life after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visit. Many Indian tourists started visiting this place. After Ram Mandir’s inauguration, we are sure, more religious tourists will throng this place.” “Tourism has become a big factor in the country’s economy and plays a big role in increasing the country’s GDP. Religious tourists will increase and Janakpur will become more prosperous after the temple’s inauguration,” said the Nepal MLA.
“The meeting of two families, the families of Lord Ram and Mata Sita,” said Ad Tapeshwar Das, who was the top priest of the Janaki Temple in Janakpur. He also said that jewels, clothes, and shoes made of silver had been sent from Janakpur as part of more than 3,000 gifts to Ayodhya.
