Ayodhya, Ram Mandir: In a heartening display of communal harmony, 350 Muslim devotees embarked on a six-day journey from Lucknow to Ayodhya to pay homage to Ram Lalla. Organized by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), an organization supported by the RSS, this pilgrimage started on January 25.
Chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’
Amidst chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram,’ the group covered a distance of approximately 150 km on foot, facing dense fog and severe cold. The devotees, guided by Shahid Saeed, the media in-charge of MRM, took breaks every 25 kilometers to rest at night and resumed their journey the following morning.
