The Patna Mahavir Mandir plans to send symbolic offerings of paag (headgear), paan (betel leaves), and makhana (fox nuts) from Mithila, Bihar, to Ayodhya for Lord Ram s temple consecration on January 22. Sita, Lord Ram s wife, hailed from Mithila, renowned for its paan and high-quality makhana . The Mahavir Mandir will also operate a community kitchen, Ram Rasoi, in Ayodhya to serve devotees during the ceremony. The temple had previously contributed Rs 10 crore for the Ram Temple construction.
The latest funding will help deepen Farmley s presence across the offline retail touchpoints fuelling its product innovation efforts, diversify distribution channels, and intensify brand-building efforts, the company said.
A customer recently raised concerns about an order from Flipkart, an e-commerce platform, as he discovered live insects in a packet of makhana he had purchased.
