Pran Pratishtha Invitation to the families of karsevaks

Families of almost fifty karsevaks who lost their lives in two different police shooting incidents in 1990 have also been invited to attend the ceremony. In addition to inviting the families, the VHP will be in charge of making travel and lodging arrangements for them.

“How can we overlook our karsevaks’ sacrifice, in which they offered their lives in defense of the temple? A VHP employee stated,” We have extended an invitation to their families to participate in the Pran Prathistha.

The three tent cities that the trust has constructed will house the families of these karsevaks. Additionally, dozens of open kitchen spaces will be provided for them.
