AYODHYA, INDIA, January 24, 2024 (NDTV): Ayodhya: A day after the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya, a nimble monkey found its way into the sanctum sanctorum on Tuesday evening. At around 5:50 pm, the primate, seemingly unfazed by the sacred grandeur of the inner sanctum, entered through the southern gate and approached the revered Utsav statue of Lord Ram. Security personnel stationed outside, initially alarmed by the unexpected guest, rushed towards the monkey, fearing it might cause harm to the statue. But instead of causing any disruption, it gracefully traversed the sanctum before heading towards the northern gate. Finding it closed, the monkey simply turned eastward and, moving through the throngs of awe-struck devotees, exited peacefully through the eastern gate. Many devotees interpreted the event as a sign of Hanuman Ji’s continued guardianship over Lord Ram and his blessings upon the newly established temple.
