Sita temple plan on Shah's Bihar visit agenda on August 8
PATNA: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Bihar's Sitamarhi district on August 8 to lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of the Janki temple at Punaura Dham, the mythological birthplace of Goddess Sita. Shah will address a public meeting during his visit. His visit is part of the BJP's strategy to consolidate its political base ahead of the Assembly elections, especially in the Mithila region. CM Nitish Kumar has also assured the state government's full support in developing Punaura Dham as a religious and tourist destination. Political observers suggest that the timing and the scale of the proposed visit of Shah underscore the BJP's attempt to emotionally engage Maithil communities, including Brahmins, Kayasthas, Vaishyas, and the upper-middle classes, through cultural nationalism. The BJP aims to influence 20-25 Assembly seats in the region by addressing the redevelopment issue. The region has a mixed population of Yadav, Muslim, Kushwaha, Dalit and EBC voters. The redevelopment of Punaura Dham is expected to mirror the scale and symbolism of the Ram temple at Ayodhya. Spread over 12 acres, the temple complex will be constructed in the traditional North Indian Nagar style of architecture, utilising white marble and red sandstone. Outreach The timing and the scale of his visit may underscore the BJP's attempt to emotionally engage Maithil communities.

Why Triggered Insaan's bride Ruchika Rathore wore a yellow saree, what her viral wedding look really means
Triggered Insaan aka Nischay Malhan is now officially off the market, and while the YouTube fandom is sobbing in a corner, the real buzz is around his wife Ruchika Rathore's wedding look, specifically, her bright yellow saree that has turned the internet into a mushy mess of heart emojis and cultural pride. Nishchay Malhan and Ruchika Rathore's wedding The couple tied the knot on June 10, 2025, in an intimate ceremony at ITC Hotels Tavleen, Chail, Himachal Pradesh. While the wedding was a private family affair, the photos are causing major public meltdowns online. And no, it is not just because they looked stunning (though, yes, they absolutely did). Red for the varmala, Yellow for the cultural vibe For the varmala ceremony, Ruchika stunned in a classic red lehenga with golden embroidery, giving major Bollywood bride energy. And then comes pheras time? She switched it up, enter the now-viral yellow saree. Internet detectives went feral trying to decode the sudden switch. The answer? Culture. Here's how Ruchika Rathore embraced her Bihari culture in the wedding Turns out, Ruchika is a proud Bihari girl, and in Maithil and Bhojpuri traditions, brides often wear yellow sarees for the main wedding rituals. It is believed to bring luck, blessings, and all things positive to the new journey. So yes, it was not a random fashion choice, it was a cultural slay. While fans were hoping to catch the traditional Bihari-style sindoor daan moment, where the ritual is done with a silver coin and mirror, the couple kept things minimal. Still, their effort to blend both Punjabi and Bihari traditions is winning hearts, and honestly? It is giving multicultural power couple vibes. From secret lovers to viral couple goals Nischay and Ruchika kept their love story low-key since their college days in 2018.
