Ahead of the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22, Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Cultural Minister Jaiveer Singh handed over 10,000 Firozabad glass bracelets(kade) with ‘Jai Shree Ram’ engraved on them to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Champat Rai on January 17.
Uttar Pradesh Tourism & Cultural Minister Jaiveer Singh said, “Firozabad is famous for its glass manufacturing industry all across the world. The district is also registered under ODOP(one district, one product) for the glass manufacturing industry.”
Uttar Pradesh Tourism & Cultural Minister Jaiveer Singh lauded Firozabad’s glass manufacturers over the initiative of gifting 10k glass bracelets. “Nanak Chand, Anand Agarwal and other glass manufacturers took the initiative to gift these glass bracelets. It is an aahuti(contribution) from Firozabad in the grand consecration ceremony in Ayodhya.”
Uttar Pradesh Tourism & Cultural Minister Jaiveer Singh highlighted the specialities of the glass bracelets gifted from Firozabad. “All the 10,000 glass bracelets are gold polished and unjointed. It took many months to make these for Bhagwan Ram.”
Uttar Pradesh Tourism & Cultural Minister Jaiveer Singh hailed Hindu-Muslim unity and highlighted the contribution of Muslim workers in manufacturing 10k glass bracelets. “When people have politicised Ayodhya Ram Mandie in the name of religion, I want to say that the majority of workers who manufactured these bangles are from the Muslim community.”
Meanwhile, to connect with Ayodhya Ram Mandir, similar initiatives were taken across the country.
