Vitthalapur beckons faithful from across state for Ashadhi Ekadashi
Bicholim: The Shri Vitthal Rakhumai Satyabhama Temple at Vitthalapur, Sanquelim, is set to celebrate Ashadhi Ekadashi on Sunday. Temple purohit Ramapati Pitre said the shrine's history spans more than 550 years, and the celebration attracts devotees from across the state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Before this temple was established, a miracle had occurred, Pitre said. A pious member of the Rane family was on the Pandharpur Vari. 'It is said that after he offered prayers to Lord Vitthal at Pandharpur, the idols of the deities Vitthal, Rakhumai, and Satyabhama fell into his lap,' Pitre said. 'These very idols were brought to Vitthalapur in Sanquelim by some devotees and were installed at a place called Pandharini, 3-4km from this temple.' Since the original site was in a dense forest, devotees faced hardships in approaching the idols to pay obeisance. 'Around that time, a businessman called Porob had a vision that his ship out on the sea would sink. Praying for his ship's safety, he vowed to construct a temple of Lord Vitthal at Vitthalapur,' Pitre said. 'His ship returned safely. He then went on to build a wooden temple. That structure deteriorated over time.' Pitre explained that eventually, a daughter from the Rane family married into the Shinde family of Gwalior, and constructed the temple that stands today. The priest said that the temple's idols are similar to those at Pandharpur. Besides, the temples of Lords Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Maruti, and Goddess Bhagwati make the location a Panchayatan Devasthan, a sanctified home to five deities. The Ashadhi Ekadashi festival concludes on the day of Trayodashi during which the Gopal Kalo or Chikhal Kalo festival is celebrated on the banks of the Valvonti river. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This celebration draws droves of children. During this festival, devotees are served ayurvedic juice in the form of tirtha, which is believed to be helpful in curing some diseases. As festivities along the river approach, Mayem MLA Premendra Shet said the banks of the Valvanti will get a new look at the cost of Rs 2 crore, under the aegis of the Goa Tourism Development Corporation. He said work will begin after the rains in two phases. For now, Ashadhi Ekadashi has been celebrated on the premises of Dr BK Hedgewar Vidhyamandir, Karapur-Tisk, with pomp and fervour. As many as 600 students went on a walking pilgrimage from the school to Lord Vitthal temple. Students of govt primary school at Maulingem also undertook the pilgrimage.

Yogi Adityanath to lead consecration at Ayodhya Ram Temple on June 5
The consecration of Raja Ram and other deities in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex will be led by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, temple officials said on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). This would be the second consecration event at the temple in over a year, with the first one taking place last January. "On this special occasion, the Chief Minister will seek the blessings of Lord Shri Ram, further strengthening his profound spiritual connection with Ayodhya," an official statement read. Ayodhya, a city marked for its temples, will also celebrate the 'Trayodashi' birth anniversary of the Saryu River. According to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the pran pratishtha rituals are scheduled to commence at 11 a.m. on Thursday. The event will coincide with the 53rd birthday of priest-politician Mr. Adityanath. Over the past eight years, Ayodhya has seen development projects exceeding ₹32,000 crore falling in its lot, with a considerable chunk of it spent on road, rail, and air connectivity. The district administration has already put the city under a comprehensive security cover in anticipation of a large crowd. Anjani Seva Sansthan president Shashikant Maharaj said, "Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Maharaj has lifted Lord Ram from a symbolic cradle and enshrined him in a grand temple. On June 5, Raja Ram will be ceremonially reinstalled, just as Guru Vashishtha performed His coronation in Treta Yuga, Yogi Maharaj will now perform His tilak. He has tirelessly worked to restore Ayodhya's glory and place it on the global map." On the change in the city over the past decade, he said, "Eight years ago, people were afraid to walk from Naya Ghat to Guptar Ghat after dark. Today, places like Aarti Ghat have become centres of devotion and celebration." Mahant Mithilesh Nandini Sharan said, "It is heartening that a monk (Adityanath) has not only understood the spiritual pulse of the state but has also energised it. Today, the people of Ayodhya no longer need to leave in search of livelihoods." Chamber of Commerce president Pankaj Gupta said the city of Ayodhya has entered a phase of "perennial bliss" under the "double-engine" government led by the BJP.

Second Pran Pratistha in Ayodhya today: How it will be different from the first
NEARLY ONE and a half years after the Pran Pratistha of the Ram Lalla idol at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the town will on Thursday witness a second Pran Pratistha. The construction work on the main temple is nearing completion, with the stage set on June 5 for the consecration of the Ram Darbar made out of white makrana marble on the first floor, depicting Lord Ram in his 'king form', accompanied by Goddess Sita, Hanuman and three brothers. Simultaneously, consecration will also take place at the seven temples dedicated to different deities in the parcotta (rampart) of the main temple on Thursday. However, unlike last year, the town is rather quiet this time around, with the focus mainly on the religious rituals involving 101 Acharyas from different parts of the country including Kashi, Ayodhya, Basti, Delhi, Kolkata, Devprayag, Haridwar, Jammu etc, who have come to perform the rituals for the Ram Darbar as well as the other temples. While activities in the rest of the town are progressing as usual, except for a few restrictions, the chanting of mantras and havans are taking place at the nine Yagya Kundas simultaneously. Since there is no major influx of VIPs, unlike the previous year, traffic restrictions were also kept to a minimum till Thursday. However, on June 5, traffic restrictions have been put in place across the town as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to take part in the consecration rituals and also attend the 'Trayodashi' event to mark the birth anniversary of the Saryu River, as well as Ganga Dussehra functions. June 5 is also Adityanath's 53rd birthday. An official with the Ram Janma Bhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust said that apart from the religious rituals, there would be 'no event this time' and the focus is mainly on the religious rituals this time and on sadhus and acharyas performing the same or would be participating on the final day – Thursday. He pointed out that CM Adityanath has been invited as he is a saint himself and to also mark his birthday. According to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the Pran Pratishtha rituals will begin at 11 am on Thursday, featuring special worship, vedic chanting and havan ceremonies for the installation of the idols. Trust Secretary Champat Rai informed that these rituals would conclude around 1:30 pm on Thursday, with the performing of arti. Devotees from across the country can continue to visit the Ram Temple as well as Hanuman Garhi temple during the rituals, officials said. Starting June 3, around 12 hours of rituals have been performed daily – from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Officials at the Trust informed that while the main Acharya leading the rituals is Jai Prakash Tripathi from Kashi, next to him would be Acharya Chandra Bhanu Sharma from Delhi. Ram Temple Trust member Anil Mishra and his wife will be the main 'Yajman' at the event. On Wednesday, the Utsav Vigrahas (smaller idols for the purpose of celebration) were taken on a tour of the premises. Unlike the first day (Tuesday), apart from the Yagya Mandap, worship was also done at the places where Pran Pratishtha was held. Trust officials informed that from 6:30 am onwards, the invoked deities were worshipped for two hours in the yajna mandap. Then the 'annadhiwas' ritual was carried out, where the idols are offered food. Then, the bathing of the idols was carried out. Later, from 2 pm to 3 pm, the Utsav Vigrahas (or the celebration idols' were taken for a visit to the premises, followed by Shayya Dhiwas, where the idols are put to rest. In the late afternoon, the Vastu Puja of the palaces was performed, where these idols have been placed.
