The ongoing Maha Kumbh has led to an extraordinary surge of devotees, creating bustling crowds from Prayagraj to Varanasi and Ayodhya. Pilgrims are patiently standing in long queues for hours to catch a glimpse of their revered deities. Among all these holy sites, Ayodhya is witnessing an unparalleled display of devotion towards Ramlala, with devotees generously contributing towards the construction of the grand Ram Temple.
Overflowing Donations Reflect Devotees’ Faith
The wave of devotion has resulted in an overwhelming amount of donations, particularly in the past 20 days. The inflow has been so massive that it has become difficult to tally the exact amount. According to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, donations exceeding Rs 700 crore have been received over the past year from various counters set up within the Ram Temple premises.
Massive Donations within Temple Grounds
Nripendra Mishra, the chairman of the Bhawan Nirman Samiti, highlighted that in the last 20 days alone, the donation volume has been so substantial that counting it accurately remains a challenge. Lakhs of devotees are making their way to Ayodhya, and many, unable to reach official donation boxes, are offering cash directly within the temple premises as a token of their unwavering devotion.
Over Rs 700 Crore Donated in Just One Year
Prakash Gupta, the office in-charge of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, revealed that since the commencement of the Ram Temple construction, a steady flow of donations from devotees has been recorded. The devotion is so profound that people are contributing according to their financial capacity. Over the past one year alone, the trust has received donations surpassing Rs 700 crore. However, the exact figures for donations collected in other temples remain unspecified.
Symbol of Devotion and Faith
The massive crowd of devotees thronging Ayodhya is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and reverence towards Ramlala. The remarkable financial support received for the temple construction reflects the collective spirit and religious devotion of countless devotees across the nation.
