A sea of saffron and devotion swept through Patna as the 24-hour Ashtayam concluded triumphantly at BJP National President Nitin Nabin’s official home on Tailor Road. Marking two years since Ram Lalla’s consecration in Ayodhya, the Shree Shree Ramnavmi Shobhayatra Samiti’s initiative ended Thursday with fervent Havan, Aarti, and ‘Jai Shri Ram’ proclamations.
Political heavyweights—Sanjay Sarawgi, Vijay Sinha, Shahnawaz Hussain, Dr. Dilip Jaiswal, Sanjay Tiger, Jivesh Mishra—mingled with devotees, amplifying the occasion’s stature. From January 21 dawn, akhand Ramdhun had woven a tapestry of bhakti, drawing families en masse.
The afternoon climax on January 22 united hundreds in sacred rites, with MLA Jivesh Mishra at the forefront. Core team members including President Jagjivan Singh Bablu, Rajesh Jain, Mukesh Jain, and Pramod Singh steered the flawless proceedings.
In reflections, Bablu portrayed the Ram Mandir as the culmination of ages-old perseverance, now an annual beacon of faith. The non-stop chants, he said, would spark enduring dharma awareness.
A heartfelt langar, enlivened by orchestral Ram bhajans, nourished bodies and souls, culminating in a profound communal experience that echoed Lord Ram’s eternal message.
