It is the subject of joy in the present age, and there is a festive atmosphere full of happiness as you are coming to the divine Ram temple. They further said that in your human form, you were in exile for 14 years, but we unfortunate people, in this physical state, have been working on the same post for the last 18 years.

We all the employees of the Excise Department, constables, chief constables, excise sub-inspectors and other colleagues pray to you that you may bless us to get a quick promotion in the government duties.
