“Hanuman ji darshan karne aye hai," Temple trust after monkey enters sanctum sanctorum

Guwahati, Jan 24: The day following the consecration of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, a monkey entered the sanctum sanctorum on Tuesday evening. Around 5:50 pm, the primate, seemingly undeterred by the sacred surroundings, entered via the southern gate and approached the revered Utsav idol of Lord Ram. Security personnel, initially alarmed, hurried towards the monkey to prevent potential harm to the idol, as per reports from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Trust.

However, instead of causing any disruption, the monkey calmly headed towards the northern gate and exited peacefully through the eastern gate.

"Today at around 5:50 pm, a monkey entered the sanctum sanctorum through the southern gate and entered the Utsav idol. Reached near. The security personnel posted outside saw this and ran towards the monkey thinking that the monkey might drop the Utsav idol on the ground. But as soon as the policemen ran towards the monkey, the monkey ran calmly towards the northern gate. Since the gate was closed, he moved towards the east and passing through the crowd, went out through the eastern gate without causing any trouble to anyone. The security personnel say that for us it is as if Hanuman ji himself has come to see Ramlala," Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra posted in X.

Numerous followers took the incident as a sign of Hanuman Ji's continued guardianship of Lord Ram and his blessings for the newly constructed temple.
