The Prime Minister of Mauritius, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, who is currently on a state visit to India, on Friday visited the historic Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi.
He is also scheduled to visit the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya later today as part of his visit.
As reported by news agency ANI, the Mauritian PM arrived in Varanasi on Wednesday. After reaching Varanasi, followed by a bilateral meeting, signing of MoUs and a joint press statement with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, the Prime Minister witnessed India’s eternal mythological site in Varanasi.
As Mauritius Prime Minister Ramgoolam prepares to visit Ayodhya, the state of Uttar Pradesh is prepared to give the visiting dignitary a traditional Indian red carpet welcome.
Just a few hours before the Mauritian Prime Minister’s visit, the Ayodhya District Magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde confirmed the high-level visit and said, "The Mauritius PM is coming to Ayodhya. The CM of the state is also coming here to welcome him. We will give him a red-carpet welcome here, complete with glimpses of Indian culture. He will then visit Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple for darshan and offer prayers. He will then depart on a flight from Ayodhya airport,” as cited by news agency ANI.
Moreover, the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trustee Anil Mishra also informed that around 30 people, including the Mauritian PM, will visit the sacred site.
Mishra, while addressing the Mauritian PM’s visit to Ayodhya, said, "After offering prayers to Ram Lalla, he will also have the darshan of Ram Darbar. He will be given details on Ram Janmabhoomi. He will then proceed to Kuber Tila. There is a Shiv Temple there, and after the darshan-pujan, he will have a light meal and then leave from here," reported ANI.
Ayodhya's Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Gaurav Grover said that comprehensive security and administrative preparations have been made to ensure the success of the high-profile visit.
SSP Gaurav Grover asserted, "Extensive preparations have been made in Ayodhya district. Both the district administration and police officers have conducted thorough site inspections and completed all necessary arrangements. External officials and security forces required for the visit have been secured. The entire itinerary, from the VIP's arrival at the airport to their departure, has been meticulously planned minute-by-minute," as cited by news agency ANI.
In anticipation of the visit, a primary cleanliness drive was also launched across Ayodhya, with municipal staff working to ensure the city is prepared to receive the foreign dignitary.
