PUNE: Since 1975 people have incessantly and enthusiastically worked on various aspects surrounding Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. Continuing the same tradition, this year people will weave a holy fabric for the Idols in the Shree Ram Mandir, Ayodhya through a special program ‘Do Dhaage Shri Ram Ke Liye’ led by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, Ayodhya and Heritage Hand Weaving Revival Charitable Trust, Pune. The initiative will be inaugurated on Sunday 10th December at 6.30 pm at Modern College Ground Shivajinagar.

The inauguration will be at the hands of J P Nadda- BJP National President in the august presence of Bhaiyyaji Joshi- Advisor to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra and former Sarkaryawah of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh; Swami Govind Dev Giri Maharaj- Treasurer Trustee Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra; Mangalprabhat Lodha- Minister of Skills, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Govt. of Maharashtra; Dr. Neelam Gorhe-Deputy Chairman of the Maharashtra Legislative Council and other distinguished guests. During the ceremony, a book titled ‘Ram Mandirache Ramayan’ will also be released at the hands of the chief guest J P Nadda. The book elaborates on the experiences of people who have worked on various aspects of the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement.

Post the inauguration, ‘Do Dhaage Shri Ram Ke Liye’ will be open to all from 10th to 22nd December 2023(Geeta Jayanti) at Saudamini Handloom on Fergusson College Road. Pre-registration is open, but people can register directly before weaving at the venue.

Speaking about the initiative, Anagha Ghaisas, Director of Heritage Hand Weaving Revival Charitable Trust, Pune, said, “There are several people who wish to contribute in whatever way possible to offer their devotion to the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir but are not sure how to step forward. Through this initiative, we believe that people will offer their prayers without any barriers of caste, language, and economic background by weaving a strand or two of the holy fabric that will adorn the deity of Shri Ram in Ayodhya. We believe that people coming together, breaking all shackles of Caste, Creed, Religion, and ethnicity, is the truest form of devotion to our motherland“.

Beyond economic empowerment, efforts are underway to provide weavers with access to healthcare, education, and social welfare programs. By addressing their holistic well-being, these initiatives aim to uplift the weavers and their families, improving their overall quality of life and ensuring the continuity of traditional art forms.

The impact of these endeavors is visible in the revitalization of dying art forms and the renewed interest among younger generations. As more people recognize the value and beauty of Indian textiles, there has been a resurgence of interest in handcrafted sarees, intricately woven fabrics, and unique indigenous designs.

Ms. Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil passionate advocate for the empowerment of weavers and the preservation of traditional Indian art forms stated, “Our cultural heritage is a treasure trove that deserves to be celebrated and preserved. By supporting the weavers’ community, we not only uplift their lives but also safeguard our artistic legacy for future generations. It is essential to recognize the artisans’ immense skill, dedication, and the stories woven into each masterpiece they create.“

The revival and preservation of Indian art and culture are critical for safeguarding the country’s heritage and empowering marginalized communities such as the weavers. Through the tireless efforts of individuals like Ms. Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil and the collective dedication of various organizations, Indian art forms are being rejuvenated, social welfare is being prioritized, and our cultural legacy is being preserved for future generations.
