They are being dressed in the finest lightly embroidered cotton clothes. The makeup is being done with light jewellery. Priest Santosh Kumar Tiwari told that seasonal juicy fruits along with curd or lassi are being offered to the Lord every day. These include mango, sweet lime, litchi, melon, watermelon etc.
A new AC has arrived for Ramlala, which will soon be installed in the sanctum sanctorum. Now a cooler has been installed in the sanctum sanctorum. Trust general secretary Champat Rai has handed over the AC to Ram temple. Champat Rai says that the Trust is continuously improving its service to God. Every smallest need of God is being taken care of.
The makeup is being done with cooling flowers like rose, jasmine, marigold etc. Daily prayers are going on with Tulsi, who is very dear to Ramlala, in his one thousand names. The clothes that Ram Lalla is wearing these days are being designed and sent by Delhi’s fashion designer Manish Tripathi himself. He has started this service of Ramlala since four months. He will send clothes for Ramlala every day for one year.
Lord Ramlala is present in the Ram temple in the form of a 5 year old boy. Therefore, their lifestyle is also being changed according to the weather. There was cold weather during the consecration on 22 January. Now the heat has increased, hence cotton clothes are being worn every day after Jalabhishek. After adornment, Aarti is performed by lighting only one lamp in a plate decorated with flowers. So that the gentle God does not get hurt. Rabri, Khurchan Peda etc. are being offered as refreshments both in the morning and evening.
At Vaishnav Peeth Shri Ram Vallabhakunj in Ayodhya, curd lassi along with mango, vine etc. fruit juices, lemon shikanji and buttermilk prepared by the ashram is being offered to the Lord. For God’s sake, AC has been installed. Swami Rajkumar Das, head of the temple, said that the service to the Lord varies according to the season.
Swami Rajkumar Das said that after Pran Pratishtha, life gets infused into the idol of God. After this even God feels hungry and thirsty. God keeps making his devotees aware of this from time to time in dreams or by giving hints. Therefore, all of us devotees take care of every comfort and convenience of Ramlala or Lord Shri Ram like a small child.
The maximum temperature recorded in Ayodhya on Monday was 41°C. Today the maximum temperature is expected to reach 42°C and minimum 30°C. In such a situation, the daily routine of God has been changed in the Math Temple of Ayodhya.
