The CSIR-NBRI set up its Ram temple made of 70 kg flowers while the CSIR-CIMAP set up a replica of Panchvati that drew a large crowd for selfies and photos. The Panchvati replica showcased the institute’s five medicinal and herbal plants, as well as Ram cutouts, monkey and deer cutouts and a scene from the jungle portraying Ram’s 14-year exile.
Panchvati Ashray Sthal, one of the tent cities, is welcoming devotees who are arriving in Ayodhya for the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple. The temple is being adorned with vividly hued marigold flowers made into streamers and garlands by a group of 800 gardeners from Gujarat. Organized by Svejal Vyas, a social worker from Gujarat, the gardeners have experience in decorating prominent temples like Kedarnath and Somnath. The tent cities, including Panchvati, have a capacity of 2,500 beds and provide free lodging and food to devotees.
These ace confectioners have been assigned to make 45 tonnes of laddus with pure desi ghee, which will be offered as a prasad to Lord Ram during the ceremony
