Ayodhya: The Minister of Arts and Culture Mahendra Gondeea of Maldives offered prayers at Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir on Sunday.
While expressing his happiness, Gondeea told reporters, “I came to Ram Mandir and went to all three places. I did the puja and Ram Mandir is very big. The construction has not been completed yet. But when it is done, I think it will be the best temple in the world. This is my good fortune. I came here after a year. It’s been a year since I came here. There were many people there. I am extremely happy that I have taken part in this. This Ram Mandir is developing well. People around the world will see its development.”
Expressing disappointment over not attending Maha Kumbh, he said, “Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend Maha Kumbh, because there are some urgent works in Mauritius.”
