New Delhi: Many special offerings from across India are on their way weeks before the inauguration of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya. These include – a 108-foot incense stick, a gold bow and arrow and a 2,100kg bell made of eight metals.
Among the exceptional ones are unique flower arrangements by a florist from Gujarat to decorate the complex. The flowers will have Ram Lalla’s name and “Jai Shri Ram” printed on the petals and thousands of them will be placed near the deity’s idol.
The florist, Ashok Bansali, claims it took him four years to develop the technology to print words and even photos on flower petals, NDTV reported.
On the outer petals are photos of PM Narendra Modi, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the words “Ram Lalla” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
“I was inspired by PM’s call to make in India, so I researched for four years to develop this printing technology. Each flower petal is printed on manually so it takes a long time to create a bunch of these. We are also planning to print similar photos on leaves of indoor plants that will be placed in the temple complex,” he was quoted as saying by NDTV.
“We have been asked to create 8000 to 10,000 of these flowers but since each petal has to be printed on manually, we are aiming to make 3,000 to 4,000 of these to offer to Lord Ram,” he said.
