Shaligram Shila will reach UP on January 31, this will make the idol of Ramlala and Mata Janaki

The child form of Lord Shri Ram and the idol of Mother Sita are to be made from 2 huge Shaligram stones, 60 million years old, found from the Kali Gandaki river of Nepal. The idol of Ramlala will be of a child form of 5 to 5 and a half feet.

The height of the idol is being fixed in such a way that the sun’s rays fall directly on Ramlala’s forehead on the day of Ram Navami. These stones have been sent to Nepal for Ayodhya for the Shri Ram temple being built in Ayodhya. Wherever these stones are coming out, people are reaching there to touch them and have darshan.

Shila’s Rudrabhishek was done on Thursday, January 26, 2023 at Galeshwar Mahadev Temple. Placing these stones on two trucks, they have left for Ayodhya on Monday, 30 January. They will enter Uttar Pradesh tomorrow on 31 January 2023 via Gopalganj via Bihar of India from Nepal.

This is the mythological belief of Shaligram stones

According to the scriptures, Lord Vishnu is believed to reside in Shaligram. The marriage of Mother Tulsi and Lord Shaligram is also mentioned in mythological texts. The stones of Shaligram are found only in the Gandaki river. On the way to the Himalayas, water collides with the rock and breaks these stones into small pieces. It is believed that in the house where Shaligram is worshipped, happiness, peace and mutual love prevails there. Along with this, the grace of Goddess Lakshmi also remains.
