A Crossroads Of Tradition And Redemption In Ayodhya
Dear Reader,
In the sacred grounds of Ayodhya, the Suryavanshi Kshatriya community stands at a crossroads.
For generations, this community has upheld a poignant vow - not to wear turbans and footwear until the Ram Mandir is rebuilt. It serves as a constant reminder of their community's defeat at the hands of the Mughals, who took down their Raja Ram's sacred mandir.
But now, there's a buzz in the air.
The "Kshatriya Mahakumbh," their community gathering, has sparked an inevitable question that's stirring their hearts and minds: Is it time to bring back the turban? The temple is almost complete! Can the community finally redeem their vow?
What will the community Mahakumbh decide? To wear turbans or continue their sacred vow after losing to the Mughals more than 500 years ago?
Amar
