A golden Atte Prabhavali, valued at approximately Rs 70 lakhs, was ceremoniously dedicated to Sri Ram in Ayodhya through Sri Vishwaprasannatheertha Sripada, pontiff of Sri Pejavara Matha, by Sri Samyamindra Thirtha Swamiji of Sri Kashi Matha Samsthan and devotees.

The dedication ceremony, held on Saturday, witnessed the presence of several esteemed personalities, including VHP National Secretary Gopal Nagarakatte, MLA Vedavyas Kamath, and prominent figures such as Raghavendra Kudva and former MLA K Raghupathi Bhat. Additionally, dignitaries such as Mahesh Thakur, Suvardhan Nayak, and Samsthana’s Auditor Surendra Nayak graced the occasion with their presence.

The golden Atte Prabhavali, meticulously crafted at the workshop of Swarna Jewelers Pvt Ltd in Udupi, stands as a testament to the unwavering devotion of the devotees towards Sri Ram. This offering symbolizes the sentiment expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna emphasizes the significance of offerings made with genuine devotion.

Furthermore, in alignment with the spirit of devotion and reverence, Sri Kashi Math Samsthan, led by its revered Mathadhish, presented a silver palanquin to Sri Balarama. Crafted with precision at Swatna Jewellers, Udupi, this silver palanquin exemplifies the commitment of devotees to honoring the divine.

In his message during the dedication ceremony, Prjava Sri emphasized the essence of grace and humility in offerings made to the divine. Quoting Lord Krishna’s teachings, he reiterated that even the simplest offerings, such as a petal of Tulsi or a drop of Gangodak, hold immense significance when offered with sincerity and devotion.

The golden Atte Prabhavali was transported in a grand procession from the branch of  Sri Kashi Matha to Ayodhya. This exquisite Prabhavali, crafted with 1 kg of gold and 3 kg of silver, was meticulously prepared at the workshop of Gujjadi’s Swarna Jewelers Pvt Ltd in Udupi. The skilled craftsmen, under the supervision of Deepak Nayak from Gujjadi, have completed the creation of this Prabhavali within a mere 5 days, showcasing their expertise and dedication.
