Enthusiasm is spreading throughout the nation with the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Devotees of Lord Ram from various states are presenting diverse gifts to express their devotion. Notably, former Pakistani cricket team spinner Danish Kaneria has shared his excitement about the Ram temple inauguration on a social media platform. In a photo uploaded by him, Kaneria is shown standing alongside a saffron flag adorned with images of Lord Ram and the temple.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kaneria expressed his anticipation for the upcoming inauguration of the grand temple dedicated to Lord Ram, emphasising that the impressive structure is now only eight days away from completion and shared a photo of himself holding a flag adorned with the image of Lord Ram and the temple in the background.

While sharing the post, Danish Kaneria wrote in the caption (translated by Google): “The grand temple of our King Shri Ram is ready, now the wait is only 8 days!

Discrimination Against Kaneria In Pakistan Cricket

Hailing from Karachi, Danish Kaneria, a Pakistani Hindu, served as the main spin bowler for the national cricket team from 2000 to 2010, leaving an indelible mark. Throughout his career, Kaneria faced discrimination and unwarranted pressure from certain teammates to convert to Islam as stated by himself publicly in an interview with Aaj Tak. He became only the second Hindu to represent Pakistan in cricket. His illustrious career is highlighted by an impressive record of over 250 wickets in Test cricket.

The upcoming inauguration of the three-storey Ram Mandir on January 22 showcases traditional Nagar architectural style. The main attraction of this temple is the grand statue of Lord Ram, which accommodates the idol of Shri Ram Lala, with the first floor featuring the Shri Ram Darbar. The temple is designed with five distinct pavilions, encompassing a dance pavilion, colour pavilion, sabha pavilion, as well as prayer and kirtan pavilion.
