Mangaluru, Nov 18: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has suggested that let the Sunrays fall on statue of Sri Rama on Rama Navami in the temple to be built at Ayodhya, Pejawar Mutt seer Vishwaprasanna Theertha Swami, who is also a Trustee in the 15-member Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said.

Mr Modi has suggested designing Ram Mandir in such a manner that sun rays fall on the idol of Lord Rama on the day of Ram Navami, he added.

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has been entrusted with the task to work on it. Modi also suggested working on giving a 3D feeling for the devotees while offering prayers in front of the idol.

The 3D work has been entrusted to the Department of Science and Technology, seer added.

Swami said that the carrying capacity test of the land, where the Ram Mandir is built was being carried out by digging up to a depth of 200 ft. The seer, who had visited Ayodhya recently, said that the work on levelling land had been taken up.

The old buildings have been demolished and cleared. The pillars, ready for construction of the Mandir, are being shifted to the construction site.

The work on the Mandir is jointly taken up by L&T and Tata company. A team of vedic sculptors will be empanelled to solicit advice on the Ram Mandir work. “We have suggested names of Krishnaraj Tantri and Gundibail Subrahmanya Bhat from this area.”

Swamiji said that the drive to raise funds for the construction of Ram Mandir will begin from January 15. Volunteers will visit houses to raise funds. The preparations for launching the fund drive has begun. The Trust has decided to increase the plinth area of the temple. It may take three-and-a-half years to complete the work on the Mandir once the work begins, he said. “Ram Mandir is not only a construction of the temple, but also a revival of the culture of the land,” he underlined.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Nati koli saaru, fry, idli, vada and pongal on Siddaramaiah’s breakfast menu at DKS’ residence

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
