Crucial role player Jatayu: Bronze idol installed at Ram Mandir complex in Ayodhya
A bronze idol of ‘Jatayu’ has been installed at historic ‘Kuber Tila’ located in the Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ayodhya. The historical character of ‘Jatayu’ is said to have played a crucial role in the Ramayana.
Trust member Anil Mishra said a mountain of 5-foot-high stones has been prepared to install this statue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to offer his tributes at the idol on January 22, 2024, before presiding over the consecration ceremony.
Treasurer of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Trust, Govind Devagiri, said that the Prime Minister will first go to the Ram temple to offer flowers on the statue of Jatayu and then will consecrate the idol of Ram Lalla.
While Jatayu had sacrificed his life in devotion to Shri Ram and Mata Sita during the Treta Yug, his statue symbolizes the struggles and sacrifices of lakhs of devotees associated with the struggle at Ram temple in Kalyug, said Giri.
Meanwhile, the ancient Shiv temple located on ‘Kuber Tila‘ is also being renovated by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said trust member Anil Mishra.
‘Kuber Tila’, a mountain on the premises of Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, has been a silent witness to the freedom movement of the country.
Baba Ram Sharan Das, a seer of Hanumangarhi temple of Ayodhya, and Maulvi Ameer Ali, a cleric of Faizabad, were hanged together with one rope on a tamarind tree at Kuber Tila on March 18, 1858, after the British suppressed the revolt of 1857.
