Chennai artisans craft twin pure-gold swings worth Rs 12 crore for Ram Lalla's Shravana ritual
Each swing weighs approximately 5.5 kg and together they are valued at an estimated Rs 12 crore. The twin jhoolas, created with exquisite precision and devotion, are among the most ritually significant artefacts added to the temple's already lavish collection.
The latest addition to the glittering trove of donations enhances the temple's grandeur even further. Notably, the sanctum sanctorum is adorned with 42 gold-coated doors, a majestic throne featuring Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, his four brothers and Lord Hanuman; and several other sacred items including crowns, bows, arrows, chhatras and the kalash atop the temple's spire, all of which have captured public and media attention since the consecration.
According to sources from the temple trust, the jhoolas have been designed in consonance with traditional Vaishnavite aesthetics, featuring lotus-petal-shaped borders, Shankh and Chakra motifs, and delicate floral filigree.

When a 6-year-old led fund-raising campaign for underprivileged girls
Bengaluru: On an early morning in late April, over 20,000 runners hit the road for the annual TCS World 10K here. Many put on impressive performances, with 11 of them cracking the elusive sub-30-minute mark. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the crowd was someone equally impressive — six-year-old Abigail Lisa, who was cheering her father Joshua from the sidelines. Abigail was the leader of a campaign that raised over Rs 3.2 lakh for NGO Reaching Hand's underprivileged girls' initiative. "Nine years ago, I was a runner who raised funds, now I feel like a fundraiser who runs," said Joshua, a seasoned runner and IT professional. Abigail's mother, Mounika, also an IT professional, is involved in fundraising efforts too. Last year, the family raised almost Rs 1.5 lakh toward the same cause. Abigail, an avid football fan, was designated "kindness leader" and helped raise funds through various methods. "I reached out to my neighbours, friends, church people," said the class 1 student, who made videos and created an online appeal to gather contributions from friends and family. "We have been blessed with two little girls, so it hurts even more to see those who don't have anyone or any place to stay," said Joshua when asked why the campaign focussed on the cause of underprivileged girls. The idea to involve Abigail in the campaign stemmed from the desire to start teaching her the importance of social work. "Causes like these drive our country, and we feel it is important that younger children like Abigail are aware of them," said Mounika. "She will grow up knowing there are groups that aren't as lucky as we are, and she will learn to stand up for them." "Nothing is impossible, that is what we have learned from this experience," said Joshua, proud of how far the family's fund-raising efforts have come over the last decade. "I learnt there are little girls who sleep in the cold and are bitten by mosquitoes, and they suffer so much. We must help poor people and give them a better future," said Abigail, reflecting on the journey of the campaign. — Aryan Thumboochetty

3 yrs on, residents await retaining wall along Bindal river
1 2 Dehradun: Nearly three years after residents demanded a proper retaining wall along the Bindal river, the project remains pending, leaving several localities vulnerable to flooding during the monsoon season. Legal proceedings related to Bindal have been pending in the district court since 2022. Shiva Verma, an advocate from the area, said accumulated garbage and the lack of safety walls choke the drains, frequently inundating the low-lying areas of the river. "In past hearings, the irrigation department claimed it requires Rs 3 lakh for constructing the retaining wall, but lacks the necessary funds. Years have passed, yet there's no permanent solution to problems affecting thousands of residents on a regular basis," he said. On Friday, local residents and officials from both the irrigation department and Dehradun Municipal Corporation (DMC) conducted a joint inspection at the Kanwali Road bridge. "The problems are recurring, and the intensity worsens every year. Earlier, garbage blockages were a major issue, but the corporation is doing a better job now. However, a concrete retaining wall is the urgent need. The existing structure is of poor quality and heavy rains often wash away the embankments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Even electricity poles on the riverbed are eroding and are a threat to the public," said area councillor Vishal Kumar. He also said that during monsoon, water level in the river is so high that the bridges along Bindal are overrun with water. "There is a need for increasing their height and width. Localities like Kanwali Road and further downstream like Govindgarh face the brunt of flooding," said Kumar. Meanwhile Verma said that Friday's inspection revealed damages to several sections of the existing safety wall, as well as to a gate meant to block garbage from entering the river. "Waste is being pushed to the sides. It needs to be removed completely. The sides have to be cleared to identify more weak points for urgent repairs. Another monsoon is passing by. We need authorities to act soon," he said, adding that the evidence collected will be presented in court during the next hearing scheduled for July 22. Avnish Bhatnagar, assistant engineer of the irrigation department, told TOI that any damages revealed during the inspection will be addressed on priority. "We keep carrying out routine repairs on the existing retaining wall. Garbage gates were also installed some time ago," he said. Sources also said that the request for a budget to build a retaining wall has already been presented to the govt and is pending approval.

100 trees relocated to save green cover for Jodhpur flyover project
1 2 Jodhpur: In a rare move prioritising environmental sustainability, the Jodhpur Development Authority (JDA) has opted to transplant over 100 fully-grown trees instead of felling them for a flyover project. Despite being granted permission to cut the trees, JDA chose an eco-conscious route, setting aside an additional Rs 26 lakh for the relocation effort. The trees—primarily neem, peepal, shesham, and karanj—were obstructing a flyover project currently underway. However, senior JDA officials proposed shifting them to alternate locations rather than destroying them. According to executive engineer Pradeep Hooda, so far, 70 trees have been transplanted to areas around Ashok Udhyan on Pal Road, and the remaining 30 will be moved in July. "This was not part of the original Rs 80 crore project," said Hooda. "However, after directions from senior officials, we floated a separate tender, engaged experts, and began the relocation process. It takes more time and money, but it's worth the effort. " JDA commissioner Utsah Choudhary said it was the first time such an initiative had been undertaken in a JDA project. "When we realised over 100 trees would be affected, we decided to find a better solution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 'I couldn't hear my grandchildren anymore...' – Find out how she did it.

Environmental advisor Ram Niwas Budhnagar, associated with the Maa Amrita Devi Seed Bank and Research Institute, underscored the importance of scientific methodology in tree relocation. "The success of such efforts hinges on following the correct SOPs. Creating a healthy root ball is essential to preserving the tree's ability to regenerate after transplant," he said. He added that failure to follow protocols had led to poor outcomes in the past, citing the example of Khejri trees that failed to survive during a similar relocation effort at the new campus of Jai Narain Vyas University (JNVU), where a drainage channel construction forced their removal.
