Karnataka sculptor Arun Yogiraj, who created the idol of Ramlala, used a gold chisel and a silver hammer to carve the eyes. While sharing its picture on social media on Sunday, Arun wrote that the divine eyes of Ramlala were made from this.
Acharya of Sanskrit and music, Sumadhur Shastri, associated with the Sangh, has been a witness to the journey from a stone idol to becoming a deity. Sumadhur informed Amar Ujala about the miraculous incidents that happened during the construction of the idol. He claims that during the construction of the idol of Ramlala, Hanumanji used to come to see him in the monkey form. Ramlala’s eyes have been carved with a gold chisel and a silver hammer.
Sumadhur Shastri tells that he has seen Lord Ramlala appearing in the form of a stone. During the construction of the idol, the monkey king would come in the form of Hanumanji and go away after having darshan. This incident used to happen every day between 5:30 and 6:00 pm. When Ram Lalla was consecrated and the temple was opened for Ram devotees on 23 January, on that day also Hanumanji had come to the sanctum sanctorum in the form of a monkey to see Ram Lalla. He kept looking at the statue of Ramlala for about five minutes. After some time, he silently left among the devotees of Ram.
He told that it took seven months for sculptor Arun Yogiraj to make the idol of child-like Ramlala. The Trust had selected three sculptors for the construction of the immovable statue. Ultimately, the construction of the statue was started by Arun Yogiraj. The Trust had instructions to all the sculptors that the image of Ramlala should be in the form of a child. The length should be 51 inches from nails to crown. A child-friendly image and smile emerged.
Ramlala’s eyes were carved in 20 minutes
Sumadhur told that the eyes of the idol are prepared at a special time. After the ritual worship of Karmakuti, a gold chisel and a silver hammer were used to make the eye. It took only 20 minutes to make the eyes. Lord Ram’s eyes are supernatural. If you see Lord Shri Ram from anywhere, you will feel that Ramlala is watching you.
