Expansion
The temperature is continuously increasing due to the heat of the sun. The sun has been shining brightly since nine in the morning. The day temperature in Ayodhya on Wednesday was 39 degrees Celsius. The heat of the sun is also affecting the temperature of faith. The decreasing number of visitors to Ramlala is indicating this. After Pran Pratistha, one and a half to two lakh devotees used to attend the court of Ramlala every day, now this number has reduced three times to 50 thousand. If the visitors have decreased, the business has also decreased.
Since April 17, the main festival of Ram Janmotsav, the number of visitors to Ramlala has decreased significantly. The reason for this is being said to be extreme heat, election atmosphere and harvesting of wheat in villages. Due to less number of devotees, the lane leading from Shri Ram Hospital to Ram Janmabhoomi Path, which was closed for the last two and a half months, has also been opened.
Vehicular movement continued smoothly through this lane on Wednesday also. And devotees also kept going for darshan. Lucknow resident Harishankar Singh, returning after having darshan of Ramlala, said that there is no crowd at all. Darshan is being done with the ease of the elder. When 62 year old Anjani Pathak also returned after having darshan, he said that he had darshan of Ramlala within 40 minutes. When we came to have darshan of Ramlala on February 2, it took about one and a half hours.
business hit
Textile merchant Shailesh Yadav said that the sun becomes very strong since morning. Afternoon trading has almost ended for the last seven days. Customers are not coming out in the afternoon. If we compare after Pran Pratistha, the business has decreased three times. Sunil Gupta, a seller of religious items, said that now the sale of Ramlala’s pictures and other religious items has reduced almost three times. Barely 20 pictures of Ramlala are being sold in a day. The reason for this is strong sunlight and heat.
