BICHOLIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant lit a 111-feet agarbatti at Shri Radhakrishna Temple in Sankhali, in the backdrop of the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, on Monday.
India’s leading agarbathi manufacturer Cycle Brand unveiled a colossal 111-feet agarbathi, as a tribute to Lord Rama.
Speaking on the occasion, Sawant said, "I am happy that we are playing a key role in the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. This 111-foot incense stick will work successfully to create a sacred environment. Its scent will always linger.”
This awe-inspiring event unfolded simultaneously across Goa, Mysuru and Maharashtra, to support and celebrate diverse artisanal heritage.
The massive agarbathi was crafted over 23 days with a dedicated team of 18 skilled individuals, using specially handpicked materials such as the auspicious dashanga: honey, konneri gedde, ghee, sandal wood powder, guggula, agaru, sambrani, devadaru, loban and white mustard along with charcoal, jigat and jaggery.
