Ahead of consecration ceremony of Ram Temple, devotees hold ‘shobha yatra’ in Shimla

Shimla, January 21

Ahead of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya tomorrow, devotees gathered and participated in the ‘shobha yatra’ procession here. The procession, which was taken from Kalibari temple to Ram Mandir in Shimla, saw the participation of both men and women.

Both BJP and Congress leaders also participated jointly in the yatra on the streets of Shimla. Former minister and BJP leader Suresh Bhardwaj said: “In 1990-1992, I was part of kar sewa. It is a lifetime experience, as I have also gone to jail to make Ram Temple. On January 22, there will be a Pran Pratishtha at Ram Temple. It is a very glad moment for everyone across the globe.”

“Here in Shimla, you can see enthusiasm among the people. The Congress leaders, including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor and also the BJP leaders, have come all together here. All organisations have collectively gathered for the Ram Temple and shobha yatra in Shimla,” he said. The Congress leader and Mayor of Shimla, Surender Chauhan, said this is a matter of faith.
