According to reports, the atmosphere in Bihar is also becoming Ramayana-like in anticipation of the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram’s idol on January 22nd. Special preparations are being made in Muzaffarpur district for the grand celebration of Deepotsav in the evening of January 22nd. The devotees of the district have prepared to make the city radiant with 15 lakh diyas on that day.
More than 1,500 artisans in the district have made a large number of earthen diyas available. Along with traditional diyas, colorful diyas will also be lit up to celebrate the day as a festival. The demand for diyas has increased in the Kumhar community, leading to an increase in their income.
Local Kumhar artisans, including Mohan Kumar, have mentioned the significance of this moment. Despite the severe cold, they are working day and night because they see this as a great opportunity to earn money and show their devotion to Lord Ram. They do not want to miss out on this opportunity.
Shiv Shankar Pandit, the president of the Kumhar Prajapati Coordination Committee, has mentioned that ever since the artisans were informed about the lighting of diyas in homes, temples, and all places of worship on the day of Lord Ram’s Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, they have been actively involved in making diyas and are determined to complete the task.
Upendra Pandit, a Kumhar artisan from Madhaul in Khudhni block, mentioned that making diyas not only provides an opportunity to worship Lord Ram but also helps in earning an income. He said that there is a special enthusiasm for this particular day, which marks a 496-year event, and they are fulfilling all the orders given by the people. Sometimes, there may be a shortage of clay, but they manage to overcome it.
