Nepal is in the process of sending two large shilas from the banks of the Gandaki river to Ayodhya to be used in making idols of Ram and Sita. “We have a bond with Ayodhya that goes back centuries. It is for the same reason that we put a proposal of sending these shilas and also a bow, which we will make subsequently. The two shilas weigh about 18 tonnes and 12 tonnes each. We have done a shilapujan of these stones and will be bringing them to Ayodhya on February 1,” former deputy PM of Nepal, Bimalendra Nidhi said.
