Adding to the luminous atmosphere, Ram Patakas (flags) and lamps for deepotsav were also distributed, casting a vibrant glow across religious spaces in Navi Mumbai.
The R F Naik Vidyalaya grounds in Koparkhairane resonated with soul-stirring Shri Ram songs, with Ram flags proudly fluttering, embodying the excitement and joy of the monumental event on January 22. Former MP Sanjiv Naik, a devout Rambhakt, and the first MLA of Airoli Assembly Constituency, Sandeep Naik, graced the occasion, participating alongside numerous devotees. Sanjiv Naik and Sandeep Naik, along with their colleagues, actively participated in the service of distributing prasad ladles to Ram devotees and representatives of various organizations.
Sanjeev Naik, expressing his sentiments, likened the celebration to Diwali, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to commemorate Shri Ram installation festival with grandeur. He emphasized that the momentous ceremony is a source of recognition and pride for everyone, transcending geographical boundaries. Calling on Ram devotees, Naik urged them to mark the occasion by adorning their surroundings with Ram flags and illuminating lamps.
