After a long-pending legal matter, we got back out hone, the Ram Lalla temple. Hence, we came here. We have come here for 'Tilakotsav' for the first time. Around 500 people from Janakpur have come to Ayodhya. During our visit, we will also extend an invitation for the 'Vivah Panchami' celebrations to be held in Nepal.
