The Shri Ram Lalla Darshan Ayodhya Dham Scheme of the Chhattisgarh government turned into a deeply memorable and spiritual experience for Mrs. Sushila Chandel, a resident of Mamta Nagar, Rajnandgaon, who undertook the free pilgrimage to Ayodhya Dham under the scheme.
Sharing her experience, Mrs. Chandel said she felt immense joy and spiritual bliss upon reaching Ayodhya. Visiting the Shri Ram Lalla Temple and Kashi Vishwanath Temple brought her a sense of peace and inner happiness. She also described participating in the Saryu Ganga Aarti as a deeply fulfilling experience.
Mrs. Chandel said the government’s Ram Lalla Darshan scheme fulfilled her years-old desire to have darshan of Lord Ram. Recalling her journey, she informed that around 850 pilgrims benefited under the scheme during this trip.

She further stated that the state government had arranged a special train from Rajnandgaon railway station to Ayodhya Dham, with excellent arrangements for meals and refreshments throughout the journey. Adequate arrangements were also made for accommodation and local travel at the pilgrimage destinations. She noted that this initiative of the Chhattisgarh government is being appreciated even in other states.
Calling the scheme a pious and commendable initiative, Mrs. Chandel said it is especially beneficial for senior citizens, persons with disabilities and economically weaker families who otherwise may not be able to visit Ayodhya Dham. She expressed her gratitude to Chief Minister Mr. Vishnu Deo Sai for providing the opportunity of free pilgrimage and added that all pilgrims were taken good care of throughout the journey.
