There was excitement about its establishment since morning.

Sanjay Kumar Singh, Motihari (East Champaran). Virat Ramayan Mandir Bihar: Where the flag of religion flutters, virtue and progress come together. And when this flag is of Devadhidev Mahadev, then understand that the fortunes of the area are about to change. With the establishment of Sahastralingam, the world's tallest monolithic Shivalinga in the Virat Ramayana temple complex, it has become clear that East Champaran will now emerge strongly on the global map of religious tourism.

East Champaran already has international recognition for having the world's largest Buddhist stupa (saffron). Now, with the establishment of Sahastralingam in Virat Ramayana Temple located in Janakinagar, this area seems to be becoming a new center of faith, culture and tourism. The special thing is that the Ram-Janaki Path, which connects Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, and Janakpur, the birthplace of Mata Janaki, connects both the Kesariya Buddhist Stupa and the Virat Ramayana Temple. This will make access here even easier for devotees and tourists.

The Virat Ramayana temple under construction in an area of ​​about 120 acres will not only be known for its grand structure, but will also become a major center of attraction for devotees due to the world's largest monolithic Shivalinga. The 270 feet high grand structure of the temple will attract people from far away. This faith will become the basis of development, employment and prosperity in future.

The devotees who reached the Peetha puja of Sahastralingam said emotionally that "Now the Lord has come to our house. Now everything will be good, now there are only ways of progress on this earth." People believe that this establishment is an auspicious sign for the entire area.

Madhuban MLA Engineer Rana Randhir Singh says that this place will not only prove to be a center of faith but will also prove to be a gateway to economic and social prosperity. Ram-Janaki path will further accelerate the pace of development. The government is also making continuous efforts to develop this area as a tourism hub.

Lalan Singh, Secretary of the Temple Construction Committee, said that today Bholenath is seated and very soon it will be possible to see Lord Shri Ram here. Such great religious combinations move any area towards development. In the coming years, the same area which once looked deserted will be buzzing with crowds of devotees and tourists.

It is noteworthy that the construction work of Virat Ramayana Temple is going on from June 20, 2023. The plot of land on which the temple is being built in Kaithwaliya has been named Janaki Nagar. Now after the base base is ready, the world's largest Sahastralingam, 33 feet high, has been established.

It took 10 years to build this Shivalinga. It has been constructed by the craftsmen of Pattikadu village located in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. The size of the proposed temple will be 1080 feet long and 540 feet wide, which will include a total of 18 shikharas and 22 temples. The height of the main peak will be 270 feet, which will give it world class recognition.

Chyawanprash is a part of every Indian's life, it reduces diseases and increases energy.
