Substantial donations in the form of gold and silver items
Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) – The Shriram Temple opened its doors to the public on 23rd January following the pranapratishtha ceremony last month. In the initial 15 days, over 30 lakh devotees from across the country visited their revered Deity Shriram. During this period, the temple meticulously tallied the offerings received. 6 donation boxes within the temple and an additional 10 in the surrounding area were opened. A cumulative sum of Rs 15 crore in offerings was amassed through these boxes, as well as through other channels.
