As many as 300 devotees will make the journey to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh on foot and reach there after 47 days
"I am thankful to PM Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath for fulfilling the dreams of crores of people with the construction of the Ram Temple. It will be fruitful for their 'shraddha, asmita and bhakti' (devotion and pride)," CM Shinde said
Asserting that Shiv Sena founder late Bal Thackeray also wanted a grand temple to be built in Ayodhya, the Maharashtra CM said that the holy city has completely been transformed and has become an important pilgrimage centre of the world
"We too will experience the grandeur and have darshan when we visit Ayodhya for the temple inauguration (idol consecration) on January 22," CM Shinde said
The 300 devotees of Lord Ram began their journey from Mira Bhayander to Ayodhya. The 'padayatra' was organised on the initiative of MLA Pratap Sarnaik, an official statement said
