Shobhayatra cancelled | Ram Mandir Nagpur
Nagpur: After the shobhayatra scheduled on April 2 at the Ram Mandir in Ram Nagar was cancelled, the Poddareshwar Ram Mandir off Central Avenue Road, too, decided to follow suit due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
According to the trustees, a lot of time, money and effort went into making plans and preparations for the annual mega event. “Many people worked hard to make the event a grand success,” said Puneet Poddar.
After keeping all precautionary measures in mind, it has been decided to take out the procession ‘tentatively’ on Janki Navami, which comes in April. Though chances of it taking place are remote, the organizers are hoping for the best. The puja and aarti during Ram Navami will be performed in the temple and will be streamed live on Facebook and on UCN between 12.30-1.30pm.
“No procession will be taken out until the coronavirus situation is under control. We will positively take out the shobhayatra 15 days after the approval of the government stating that everything has been normalized now,” said Poddar.
