Maharashtra devotees offer giant 7-foot sword, weighing 80 kg to Ram Lalla

AYODHYA: In Ayodhya, devotees from Maharashtra gave Ram Lalla a massive sword that measured seven feet three inches in length and weighed eighty kilogrammes. The present demonstrates the strong bond between Ayodhya and its adherents throughout India as well as the profound respect and devotion that Lord Ram Lalla's followers have for him. Nilesh Arun Sakar, a devotee who had brought the sword, introduced himself, saying, "I am a collector of ancient weaponry from Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. I've displayed my weaponry in a number of locations. To dedicate to Lord Ram, I brought a sword today that resembles the Nandak Khadag, the weapon of Lord Vishnu. This sword is unique in that it is 7 feet 3 inches long and weighs 80 kg.""If you will look closely, you will find that the Khadak has been made with a dedication to Lord Vishnu Narayan and all of his 'Dashavatara' have been incorporated into this," he continued, discussing the specifics of the blade. The sword's handle is constructed of brass with a gilded covering, while the blade is composed of steel." The Hindu god of preservation, Lord Vishnu, has 10 avatars, collectively referred to as Dashavatara. The terms "dasa," which means "ten," and "avatara," which means "descent," are the roots of the word "Dashavatara." In order to restore cosmic order, Vishnu is thought to descend in the form of an avatar. Over the ages, these avatars have had a significant impact on how humans have evolved. Occasionally, the god Vishnu takes on human form in order to drive out bad forces, bring back the dharma, and free his devotees or worthy ones from the cycle of births and deaths. He went on to say that he took 1.5 months to create this sword, which is dedicated to Lord Ram.

“No alliance in Bengal” says Mamata Banerjee, big dent to INDIA bloc hopes

KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress chief, Mamata Banerjee, said that her party would contest the Trinamool Congress alone in Bengal on Wednesday, dealing a severe blow to the INDIA alliance. "I didn't talk to the Congress party. We shall fight alone in Bengal, as I have always declared. The TMC chief stated, "We are a secular party and we alone will defeat BJP in Bengal. I am not concerned about what will be done in the country." "I made a lot of suggestions, but they were immediately turned down. We have since made the decision to run in Bengal alone for the elections.In addition, the Bengal Chief Minister asserted that, in contrast to the Congress's assertions that they had invited INDIA bloc parties to participate in the Yatra, she was unaware that Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra was going through Bengal. "Despite the fact that I am a member of the INDIA bloc, they did not even think it appropriate to notify me in advance that they would be visiting West Bengal. Thus, insofar as Bengal is concerned, there is no relationship with me," Mamata Banerjee stated. "At the national level, we will determine the course of action. Our party is secular. We'll do every effort to overthrow the BJP. There is no single party that makes up the partnership. We have stated that they ought to fight in some states while the regional parties are permitted to fight on their own in the remaining states. They shouldn't become involved, she continued. Trinamool and the Congress broke down as a result of state unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowdury's ongoing criticism of the chief minister of Bengal. Adhir Chowdhury asserted during a press conference on Tuesday that Mamata Banerjee only became the state's chief minister in 2011 because of Congress's intervention. "The polls will not be held under Mamata Banerjee's sway this time. In the two seats where Mamata Banerjee is stepping down, the Congress defeated the BJP and TMC. The Congress party is skilled at running for office. The Congress MP claimed, "Mamta Banerjee is an opportunist who came to power in 2011 with the mercy of Congress." In an attempt to mitigate the harm caused by the state unit chief's persistent attacks, Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Assam as part of his Nyay Yatra, stated that he had a cordial relationship with the TMC chief. "I don't want to comment right now; the seat-sharing negotiations are still under progress. However, Mamata Banerjee and I get along well. There are moments when our leaders speak, their leaders speak, and so on. It is a normal occurrence. Rahul Gandhi had stated on Tuesday that "such remarks won't matter and these are not things that are going to disrupt things." Of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in Bengal, the Trinamool Congress allegedly offered the Congress a maximum of three seats. The TMC secured 22 Lok Sabha seats, while the Congress secured two seats in the 2019 elections. Mamata Banerjee's declaration on Wednesday that she was going it alone seems to have slammed the door for the Congress in Bengal. Creating coalitions has proven to be difficult for the INDIA bloc, and it currently seems unlikely that the alliance would be able to present a unified front against the BJP.
