The weather has now started changing. On Tuesday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 31 degrees and the minimum temperature was 18 degrees Celsius. In the morning the fog has also started spreading and I am feeling shivering. One has started feeling cold even at night. In such a situation, Ramlala has also started feeling cold. Therefore, Ramlala is being bathed with hot water, his Raag-Bhog has also been changed.
Ramlala is present in the Ram temple in the form of a five year old boy. In such a situation, he is served as a child only. Whenever the weather changes, their enjoyment is also changed. Archak Ashok Upadhyay of Ram temple said that now the weather has started shivering. It has started getting cold in the morning and evening, hence the enjoyment of child Ram has been changed.
Child Ram is woken up at 4:30 in the morning and is given a bath. To prevent them from feeling cold, they are now bathed in lukewarm water. Besides, changes have also been made in the offering.
Rabdi and peda are being given as bhog. Dry fruits like cashews, almonds and pistachios are also being given. Hot milk mixed with almonds and pistachios is being given. Puri and halwa are being served in the meal. Some more changes will be made as the cold increases. Coolers are no longer being run in the sanctum sanctorum. The fan is being used only in the afternoon. In view of the cold, the darshan period of Ramlala has already been changed. Soon Ramlala will also be started wearing woolen clothes. Presently jewel studded silk and silk clothes are being worn which are made and sent from Mumbai by famous designer Manish Tripathi.
