Bhubaneswar, Jan 22: On the auspicious occasion of the much awaited ‘Pran Pratistha’ ceremony in Ayodhya, artist L.Eshwar Rao, a resident of Odisha’s Jatni has created a miniature Ram Temple using chalk and matchsticks.
Rao devoted a careful seven-day endeavor to breathe life into this creation. Furthermore, a small idol crafted from chalk, depicting Lord Hanuman, graces the temple.
In addition, he encourages all followers of Lord Ram to illuminate an earthen lamp in their homes on the evening of January 22, extending a warm welcome to the Lord with offerings of arua (boiled) rice and betel nuts.
