Second Progress
Report: Shree Ram Mandir and Samaj Mandir
Navsarjan Report
The Construction of the long awaited
Shree Ram Mandir has finally begun on
16th April 2001. Volunteers of our village
have demolished the old Shree Ram Mandir
and Pujari residence. The task turned
out to be bigger than expected.
The Uthapan Vidhi (ceremony for the moving of the old murti from
the old mandir) was held on the 29th of January 2001 at 12:15 pm.
The Punja Vidhi was attended by a number of people from overseas
and local people. Eleven Brahman conducted the Puja Vidhi and afterwards
Maha Prasad (bhojen) was given out. Later a Garba Program was held
at night. The Bhumi Pujan for construction of the new Ram Mandir
was held on the 12th of March 2001 at 10:00 am.

people living outside of India and local people. The Shilanyas vidhi
was conducted by seventeen Brahman and Maha Prasad (bhojen) was
