After a flagpole built at a workshop in Ahmedabad for the Ram temple in Ayodhya attracted huge crowds, now, a 108-ft long incense stick is set to be put up for public view between December 17 and 28 in Vadodara before it is dispatched to Ayodhya on a trailer truck as an “offering” to Lord Rama on January 22, the day the temple will be inaugurated.
The incense stick has been prepared by a milk producer in the city. On Saturday, BJP leaders, including MP Ranjan Bhatt, attended an event organised by the Sanatan Dharma and Gaupalak Association to “accept suggestions” from people to make the initiative a success.
City Mayor Pinky Soni, addressing the gathering, suggested that people must wear the “sindoori” (orange) colour on January 22 and that the incense stick is being dispatched from Vadodara to show people’s devotion to Lord Ram.
Grand Welcome
