Lucknow[Mumbai]: Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday took a solemn ‘darshan’ of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya as part of his visit to the holy town.
Sporting a sparkling saffron ‘kurta’ and an auspicious yellow shawl with Hindu verses printed on it, Thackeray Jr. knelt on the floor at the Ram Lalla site and offered prayers there.
He was accompanied by Shiv Sena MP and chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut and PWD Minister Eknath Shinde, several other party leaders and office-bearers from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
Later, in a media interaction, Aditya Thackeray termed his experiences at the different venues in Ayodhya including Hanuman Temple darshan, as ‘divine and spiritually exhilarating’.
“With a large number of devotees coming here from Maharashtra, we are making efforts to construct a ‘Maharashtra Sadan’ here for their lodging-boarding,” said Aditya Thackeray.
After the Ram Lalla darshan, Thackeray Jr. went and viewed the work on the upcoming grand Lord Ram Temple and then was offered a ‘maha-prashad’ by various priests and holy men.
