PUNE: The enshrining of Lord Ram’s deity in Ayodhya is the talk of the nation today. With the golden time in India’s history just around the corner, crores of devotees are preparing to celebrate the event with prayers, songs, and lighting of lamps in their own homes on 22nd January 2024. Augmenting this euphoria, Pune-based Ranka Jewellers has conceptualized a unique initiative – ‘Ram in Every Home, Ram-Temple in Every Home!’
Ranka Jewellers has created silver frames and replicas of Shri Ram’s Temple in Ayodhya in silver, antique metal, and wood. They have also created beautiful sets of the royal court of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lakshman, and Lord Hanuman. These sets are also available in marble powder. All these are available for devotees at affordable prices across all Ranka Jewellers outlets.
Speaking about the initiative, Directors of Ranka Jewellers Group Fatechand Ranka and Omprakash Ranka said, “The Ayodhya Ram Temple is not just a magnanimous monument, but a place of deep worship for all Hindus across the globe. We wanted to create a way for people to experience the enshrining in their own homes as traveling to Ayodhya is not a feasible option for many at this juncture. This is what led to the creation of the ‘Ram in Every Home, Ram Temple in Every Home!” initiative.”
Speaking about the replicas Shailesh Ranka, said, “The idea behind creating the perfect replica of Shri Ram Temple was to create similar energy in every household as would be created in Ayodhya on 22nd January. The replicas also have light fittings to illuminate the models at night giving it the grand effect.”
Vastupal Ranka has extensively researched the finer aspects of the temple to create a perfect replica. He has helped create the temples with attention to the minutest details with the assistance of the handwork by 25 artisans. Silver carries vital energy and was the first choice as the base metal.
Assuring the quality, Dr. Ramesh Ranka and Anil Ranka said that the replicas have been made in various sizes using 400 grams, 600 grams, 1,100 grams, and 2 kg of silver with 92.5% purity while the Lord Ram’s Royal Court sets have been made in pure silver ranging from 100 grams to 2 kg with the same silver purity.
Tejpal Ranka informed that Ranka Jewellers has also created silver coins with images of Shri Ram’s Court and Sri Ram’s Temple to honor the golden moment.
The ‘limited edition’ replicas are in high demand and Punekar could book their replica by visiting any of the Ranka Jewellers outlets.
