Gold pots will be presented
A 64-year-old man has started a trek of thousands of kilometers from Hyderabad to Ayodhya to offer a golden Khadau to Lord Ram.
Challa Srinivas Shastri is traveling through the Ayodhya-Rameshwaram route, which was taken by Lord Rama during his ‘exile’. He said he wanted to travel in reverse order, visiting all the Shivalingas installed by the Lord on the way and started his journey on July 20.
Will travel 8000 km
Shastri has already visited many places like Puri in Odisha, Trimbak in Maharashtra and Dwarka in Gujarat. He said he would cover a distance of about 8,000 km on foot with shoes on his head, which he would hand over to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on reaching the holy city.
Shastri said he is following the map prepared by Dr Ramavatar, a retired Income Tax Department officer, who has researched for 15 years on the route that Lord Ram followed during his exile.
Regarding his visit, Shastri said, “My father had participated in Kar Seva in Ayodhya. And
He was a great devotee of Lord Hanuman. His wish was to see the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. Now that he is no more, I decided to fulfill his wish.”
Shastri said that he has so far donated five bricks of silver as part of his contribution to the Ram temple after the Supreme Court decision in 2019.
