Prayagraj: A Muslim businessman from the holy city of Prayagraj brought a pashmina shawl for Ram Lalla ahead of the January 22 consecration setting an example of communal harmony.
Haji Mohammad Aslam not only participated at the special puja being held in Lete Hanuman temple on Tuesday night but also presented the woollen shawl to Shri Ram. He termed Shri Ram as 'Maryada Purushottam Prabhu'.
"Maryada Purushottam Prabhu Shri Ram belongs to everyone irrespective of case and creed. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian all are his children," Aslam said. On January 22, Haji will celebrate Ram Utsav by lighting 51 lamps in Prayagraj.
