‘Don’t Come to Ayodhya on Jan 22′: Champat Rai
In a special message for the pilgrims planning to visit Ayodhya for Pran Pratishtha of Ram Mandir, Champat Rai on Saturday said that people should celebrate “Anand Mahotsav” on January 22, 2024 in temples near to their houses and avoid traveling to Ayodhya on the day.
“Don’t travel to Ayodhya on January 22. Assemble at the temple nearest to you, irrespective of whether it’s small or big. Go to the temple which is feasible for you, even if it belongs to a different god or goddess,” Champat Rai was quoted as saying by NDTV.
