108-Feet-Long Incense Stick Lit At Ayodhya

Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust Mahant Nritya Gopal Das on Tuesday lit a 108-foot-long incense stick brought here from Gujarat. Das lit the incense stick amid a huge crowd chanting “Jai Shri Ram”. It has been claimed that the fragrance from the incense stick will reach a distance of 50 km.

The incense stick weighing 3,610 kg has a width of around three-and-a-half feet. It has been brought to this Uttar Pradesh town from Gujarat’s Vadodara. Cow dung, ghee, essence, flower extracts and herbs were used to prepare the incense stick, which, once lit, will last for about a month and a half.
