In a heartwarming display of devotion and creativity, special children from Ab-Normal Home in Pune unveiled a meticulously crafted replica of Shri Ram Temple at Sarasbaug Ganpati Temple on January 15, 2024.
Dr. Praveen Dabadghav, the West Maharashtra in-charge of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), expressed immense joy at the event, emphasizing that with the divine blessings of Lord Ramchandra, India stands united as “One Nation.” The special children’s efforts were hailed as a unique and touching tribute to the monumental occasion of the consecration of Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
Dr. Dabadghav, speaking on behalf of the Creative Foundation, extended gratitude to the participants and highlighted the enduring struggle of 550 years that has culminated in the construction of the Ram Temple, marking a historic achievement for the nation.
The meticulously crafted replica of the Ram Temple, a testament to the spirit of devotion displayed by special children, was opened for public viewing. City leaders from various political parties, including Deepak Mankar (NCP), Dheeraj Ghate (BJP), Pramod Nana Bhangire (Shiv Sena), Sanjay Sonawane (RPI), Bharat Lagad (Shiv Sangram Association), and others, graced the occasion, showcasing a rare display of unity.
Deepak Mankar, through a soulful rendition of the devotional song “Rama Raghunandana,” captured the spiritual essence of the moment. Sandeep Khardekar, President of Creative Foundation, expressed pride in the special children’s project and their decision to open the replica for public viewing.
Acknowledging the unique collaboration, Khardekar attributed the event’s success to the presence of city presidents from all constituent parties of the grand alliance (Maha Yuti). Dr. Dabadghav gifted the book “Ramayana of Ram Janmabhoomi” during the ceremony.
Ramesh Bhagwat, President of Devdeveshwar Sansthan, expressed his privilege in displaying the Ayodhya replica in the Ganapati temple, announcing plans for Anandotsav celebrations on January 22 in all the temples of the Sansthan.
