Ram temple in Pakistan is now in discussion

 

 The entire country has become Rammay because of the Ram Mandir that will be built in Ayodhya. Shriram's name is glorified everywhere. All Ram devotees are waiting for 22nd January. On this day, the idol of Lord Shri Ram will be enshrined in such a grand temple. This day is going to be special for all Indians. While the fame of this temple of Lord Ram is spreading in all directions, the discussion of a Ram temple has started again from our neighboring country, i.e. Pakistan. There is also a Ram temple in Islamabad, Pakistan. 

 This Ram temple was built by a Rajput king. All these areas had a large Hindu population before partition. For them this Ram Mandir was a great holy place. The plight of this very rich temple happened after partition. Partition took place and the worship of Lord Sri Rama in this temple was also banned. Once crowded with Hindu citizens, this area is now home to a handful of Hindu families. Since the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya started, this Ram temple in Islamabad has also come into the news. Now the Hindu families are trying to repair this temple and get permission to worship Lord Shriram and Hanuman there again.  

Ram Mandir in Syedpur village of Islamabad, Pakistan is now in the news. Locals say that Lord Shri Ram stayed for some time during his exile in the area of ​​this temple built in 16th century. That is why a Rajput king is said to have built a grand temple of Lord Shriram, Mother Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman here to preserve the importance of this place. 

 It is the only Ram temple in Pakistan. This Ram Mandir is also known as Ram Kund Mandir . It is believed that Lord Sri Rama spent some time of his exile in this area. So Man Singh first built this temple in the 16th century out of faith. This temple was built very grandly by Raja Mansingh. At that time there were many Hindu families living around Islamabad. That is why there were many big temples in this area. All these temples were known for their magnificence before partition. However , after partition, all these temples were looted. Some were demolished. The temple of Lord Ram (Ram Mandir) was also completely cleared. The once prosperous temple turned into ruins. 

 According to the Archeology Department of Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad , maintenance of all temples in the area was banned after partition. In the Liaquat-Nehru Agreement of 1950 , it was decided to hand over all these temples to the Refugee Property Trust. However , Syedpur village and its Ram Mandir area are still under Capital Development Authority of Islamabad. There are Hindu families in this area. For them this Ram Mandir is a place of great faith.  Due to their repeated demands to the government, in 2016, the premises of this temple were renovated and handed over to the Hindu community. 

 Along with the Ram Temple, there was also a Gurudwara and a Dharamshala in the same Syedpur village . Around eight thousand devotees used to come to this village every year. After partition most Hindus migrated to India. After this Syedpur village and Ram Mandir area were sealed as enemy property. At present there are about 300 Hindu families in Islamabad. This village has a historical background. Very ancient caves have also been found around the village. Apart from this, the village also had ponds named after Lord Ram and Lakshmana. Now, due to lack of maintenance, these lakes have become extinct and their names have also been changed.  

 The Capital Development Authority of Islamabad started the reconstruction of Syedpur in 2008 and it was given the status of ' Heritage Village ' . During the reconstruction, the Ram Mandir area was also painted. But the idols were removed from this temple. The door of this idolless temple is always open for devotees. But here now there is a ban even for worshiping. A girls' school was started in 1960 in this Ram Mandir complex . The school was shifted to another location after prolonged opposition by the local Hindu community. The temple premises were vacated in 2006 . However, Hindus are not allowed to worship.

 According to Reema Abbas, a Pakistani writer who wrote a book ' Historic Temples in Pakistan- A Call to Consciousness ' on forty temples from Pakhtunkhwa to Tharparkar , temples in Pakistan have been deliberately taken over by the government. Apart from the Ram Mandir, there is also a temple of Lord Hanuman in Karachi, Pakistan. There is an idol of Panchmukhi Hanuman in this temple. The temple was reconstructed in 1882 . This temple is crowded with Hindu devotees. The temple of Hinglaj Bhawani, one of the 51 Shaktipeeths of Sati, is located on the banks of the Hingol River, 120 kilometers from Balochistan. Sati's head is believed to have fallen here. Devotees come here from many countries including India. While the grand Shri Ram temple in Ayodhya is being glorified all over the world, the information about the temple of Lord Shri Ram in Pakistan is also being discussed.
