Pilgrims Flock to Ayodhya on Foot as Ram Temple Inauguration Approaches
As the inauguration date of the Ram temple nears, many people have begun marching on foot towards Ayodhya, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama.
People of all ages and religious backgrounds are traveling on foot towards
Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya to see and offer prayers at the
Ram temple, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate later this month, reports said.
As the march towards the temple continues, two more youths from
Odisha have embarked on the journey.
However, they are likely to miss the inauguration ceremony scheduled for January 22, as it would take more than a month to cover the over 1,400-km distance from Berhampur town in Odisha's Ganjam district to the Ram temple in Ayodhya, they said.
Kuresh Behera and Sonu Bisoi, both 22, who live in Chandapur and Kanishi areas of the state respectively, offered prayers at a local temple in Kanishi before starting their journey, the reports said.
They embarked on their journey to Ayodhya amid chants of
'Jai Shri Ram' (Hail Lord
Rama) from people gathered at the temple. Some people also accompanied them for a few kilometers on their journey.
"We have set a target to walk for 30-35 km every day in order to reach Ayodhya in the next 40 days. We will miss the inaugural function of the temple but we will offer prayers later," Behera was quoted as saying by the reports.
In a related interesting development, videos of a Muslim girl documenting her journey to the Ram temple have gone viral on several social media platforms.
Many people in
India, particularly
Hindus, are jubilant that the long-awaited Ram temple is finally being finished after overcoming numerous hurdles and a protracted legal battle in the country's courts.
To facilitate travel to Ayodhya, Modi recently inaugurated the city's first-ever airport and a revamped railway station.
