00:00 Ram will come to the west to the Chuncharana Kshetra, Dandakarana to meet Modi
00:08 I like it very much. Ram and Arjuna and I like to do the same pooja from the beginning
00:15 Now that Modi has come to power, it is open to everyone. Everyone is happy
00:20 I can't say, but I am very happy. I am very happy with all the things they are doing
00:26 This time the time has come. They are doing this. I hope they will continue to do this
00:32 Election is different. This is God's work.
00:35 In the heart of Karnataka's Mysore district, where the mighty Chunchanakatti falls roar,
00:51 there lies a sacred heaven, the Sri Kodandaram temple.
00:56 This is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Kodandaram. The uniqueness of the idol
01:09 installed here is that Sita is standing to the right side of Lord Ram instead of the usual left
01:17 It was Trinbindu Maharshi who directed Sita to stand on the right side of Sri Ram
01:23 This distinctive arrangement features Sri Ram to the left of Sita and Lakshman to the left of Sri Ram
01:31 creating a unique dynamic
01:34 Everywhere, Sita is on the left side of Ram. This is a speciality of Sita standing on the right side of Ram
01:40 Here, Trinbindu Maharshi is doing the prayer. I saw you on the left side when you got married
01:45 Now you should give me the right side of your vision. When asked, here on the right side of Ram
01:50 they have installed it. Trinbindu Maharshi's installation is the history of Ramdev
02:01 And here is the most astonishing feature of this temple. Inside the sanctum sanctorum, the roar of
02:08 Chunchanakatte falls cannot be heard. There are several lures associated with it. One goes
02:15 something like, once Lord Ram was getting exhausted with Sita Mata's constant complaining about a few
02:22 things and hence Lord Ram cursed that a woman's words shouldn't be sharp. Since Kaveri river is
02:29 considered a woman, the noise it made wouldn't be heard in the sanctum sanctorum.
02:35 Another lure says, a curse originated from Lord Ram muted the waterfall's voice to provide peace
02:48 for Mata Sita. There's yet another tale. Once Sita wanted to take a bath and Ram told Lakshmana to
02:56 shoot an arrow at a rock. When Lakshmana did that, water started flowing out in three different colors
03:02 one with turmeric, one with oil and the other with shikakai. Even today when there's a good
03:09 amount of water in the falls, one can see these colors just like a colorful reminder of the ancient story
03:18 Ram told Vanamasa to go to the west and meet Dandakaranna for three days.
03:27 Harithar's wife Kaveri was still not born. When Sita wanted to take a bath, she asked Maida Lakshmana.
03:41 "Why Lakshmana, there's no water in the place, I don't want to take a bath." Maida Lakshmana said.
03:48 "Then I'll shoot an arrow at a place. When I shoot an arrow, a big pond will form and water will flow in it."
04:00 The waterfall is part of the Kaveri river and is located in Chunchanakatte, which is the holy
04:10 place where Lord Ram during his Vanavas stopped by and was greeted with the hospitality of a tribal
04:17 couple called Chuncha and Chunchi.

05:17 Chunchanakatte holds sacredness and religious significance deeply rooted in local legends.
05:24 The walls with its divine hush stands as a symbol of Lord Ram's compassion, embracing all
05:33 irrespective of caste, creed or color.

06:19 For the devotees, the Grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya is also a reason to cheer and be unified with the
06:25 Almighty at the sacred birthplace. And in the same breath, they thank the Modi government for what
06:32 all has been done.
