Amid Huge Demand, Gita Press To Allow Free Download Of Ramcharitmanas From Website

Since the announcement of the date of the "Pran Prathistha" at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the demand for Ramcharitmanas has increased manifold.

The Gita Press will allow free download of the Ramcharitmanas from its website as it is unable to meet an increased demand for the holy book ahead of the January 22 Ram temple consecration ceremony, an official said.

Established in 1923, the Gita Press is one of the world's largest publishers, and according to its manager Lalmani Tripathi, it has published 95 crore books in 15 languages.

The Gorakhpur-based publisher, which was awarded the Gandhi Peace Prize last year, has stores across the country.
