A stone from Sita Eliya, the place the place Goddess Sita is believed to have been held captive by Ravana in Sri Lanka, will probably be used within the development of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The stone is anticipated to be dropped at India by Sri Lankan High Commissioner to India Milinda Moragoda.
“A stone from Sita Eliya in #SriLanka for the Ram Temple in #Ayodhya will be a pillar of strength for #India-#SriLanka ties. This stone was received at Mayurapathi Amman Temple by HC-designate of Sri Lanka to India HE Mr Milinda Moragoda in presence of the High Commissioner,” the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka tweeted on Thursday.
A temple in Sita Eliya is devoted to Goddess Sita and is alleged to mark the place the place she was held captive by the Lankan king Ravana and the place she repeatedly prayed to Lord Rama for her rescue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had final 12 months carried out the ‘bhoomi pujan’ of the Supreme Court-mandated Ram temple in Ayodhya, bringing to fruition the BJP’s “mandir movement” that outlined its politics for 3 many years and took it to the heights of energy.
