Ayodhya (UP): The guests attending the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in this holy city of Uttar Pradesh on Monday will be given Mahaprasad along with the food prepared with desi ghee in the temple premises.
Mahaprasad is being prepared by Gujarat's saffron army called Bharti Garvi Gujarat and Sant Seva Sansthan under the guidance of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
National President of the institute, Kamal Bhai Rawal said that three responsibilities have been assigned to him by the Trust, including preparing Mahaprasad along with making arrangements for the stay and food of the saints.
