After 498 years of struggle Hindus reclaimed the Janm Bhumi of Shri Ram. Ruling Party was given the credit for a judicial decision. The execution of Shri Ram Janm Bhumi Temple is like ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Here is the detailed report and complete thread.1/21
theaidem.com Here is my detailed report on how the ‘developmental model’ of Ayodhya ji that gravely abuses the principles of preservation and conservation. Centuries-old temples are being semi-demolished because they were said to have 'encroached' the govt land.2/21
Teerth consists of four hierarchically interspersed layers. These are ‘sthan’ (site), ‘parikshetra’ (a defined territory), ‘simant’ (border region) and ‘brahmanda’ (cosmos). Teerth is a reflection of cultural astrology. but that sacred geometry is being gravely abused by Babus.3
Teerth Kshetra of Ayodhya has five pilgrimage routes. These are the Chaurasi kroshi, Chaudah Kroshi, Panchkroshi, RamKot ki parikrama, and antahgrahi ki parikrama. All these routes are demarcated with shrines and temples that are described in ancient texts. 4/21
The cultural rejuvenation and physical development of Ayodhya should be centred around these pilgrimage routes with the active participation of archaeologists, conservationists, and devotees. But govt has other plans to make hotels even at the expense of cosmogram.5
From Nayaghat to Hanuman Gadhi, as per one estimate, more than 30 temples that are centuries old are being affected by the construction of the broad roads so that luxury cars can pass without hindrance. Of course, there could be alt routes but why would the state care6
Near Gandhi Ashram, lakhori bricks peeked out of the partially demolished arches of Ram Janki Shukla Mandir, a double-storey temple of 1872. The portion of the temple used for Satsang, the Jagmohan, was torn down because it was obstructing ‘development’. 7/21
Magnificent twin temples that once stood near Gandhi Ashram, are now part of history. Anyone who has not seen the old images of these temples cannot even imagine their majesty. These were the first temples to be bulldozed in December 2022. 8/21
the fortified premise of the Janmabhoomi where the oldest structures of Ayodhya stood. Most of the structures were dedicated to one or the other character in the Ramayana. There were thirteen Temples of Nirmohi akhada, including the Seeta Rasoi. 9/21
I just wished that state those old Bhawans-mandirs and utilised them sustainably. But again, Babus did what they know best. The most sacred ‘Sita ki Rasoi’ has been demolished, ‘kekai Kop bhawan’, ‘kaushalya sadan’ converted into smithereens.10/21
There stood a temple called Fakeer-e-Ram mandir where Shri Ram sported his sanyasi clothes before going into exile. Swami Avimukteshwaranand intervened through court to stop demolition but as per locals, the temple has been demolished too.11/21
The ‘Red Cross’ on the walls of Shri Thakur Vijay Raghav Mandir, which means it was marked for demolition. The top of the stone ‘chaukhat’ was adorned with the image of ‘Vinayak’ (Ganapati) which was flanked by carved images of sadhus.12/22
The owner claimed that one of the bricks in the temple was at least 800 years old. Evidently, all the wondrous heritage Bhawan and mandir would be demolished to make space for VIPs. 13/21
The owner claimed that one of the bricks in the temple was at least 800 years old. Evidently, all the wondrous heritage Bhawan and mandir would be demolished to make car parking. Here is the second part of the report. theaidem.com . 14/21
Stone structures of yore with intricate carvings were being drilled by labours, any first-world country would have preserved it to showcase the aesthetic sense and architecture. 15/21
Tulsi Chawani Mandir with a low-arched entrance; it appeared as if I was entering a tunnel that opens up into a Shivala whose shikar was a tower-like structure with a hemispherical spire. The temple was obviously neglected by the state. 16/21
Narhan Mandir, Bheekhu Shah Mandir, Sheesh Mahal were in a state of neglect. The plasters of the wall were missing, ceilings were falling off, and wooden doors were corroded by termites. Fading murals on the walls sobbed the story of the lost glory of these temples. 17/21
in 2017 Scholars like Manoj Dixit prepared a report that Ayodhya fulfils UNESCO’s criteria of a heritage city and needed to be preserved that way. Manoj Dixit is the brother of @Sanjay_Dixit, Would Sanjay mock his brother as Congressi Trad as he did in Kashi episode.18/21
Many would say that since most temples are not of the Ramayan era so govt should demolish, and then the entire Ayodhya was established by ‘Vikramaditya’ with reference to Nageshwar Nath Mahadev mandir. Here is part three theaidem.com 19/21
Rumours are that yet another ‘corridor’ is being planned around Nageshwar Nath Corridor. The Temple is surrounded by old remnants built by icons including Ahilyabai Holker. Indian state should preserve and re-consecrate the temples but why would babus do that?
In Ramrajya every one was happy, healthy and wealthy. But in Present Ayodhya small businessmen are asking permission to commit suicide. Forget ‘RamRajya’, there is no 'Detailed plan report' for public review, babus are running riot to get things executed before election.
Ayodhya is in rucous. I am planning to work out a short documentary that would be published soon. Mahadev.
