Puri: On the occasion of Ram Navami, sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created sand art of Lord Ram along with a miniature of Ayodhya’s Ram temple.
“I pray Lord Ram’s grand temple in Ayodhya is built soon so that his devotees from across the globe can have darshan,” Said Patnaik.
Ram Navami is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ram to King Dasharath and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya in Treta Yuga. A spring festival, it is celebrated on the ninth day of Chaitra month – the first month in the Hindu lunar calendar.
