The Ram temple's chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das has objected to the Sriram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust's decision to stop the distribution of 'prasad' among devotees from a makeshift temple where the idol is installed.
The deity is at the temporary structure till the Ram temple is built. It was earlier placed in the mosque structure on the Ram Janmabhoomi complex on December 22, 1949.
Under a new arrangement, implemented a few days back, the trust's functionaries have been assigned the job of distributing 'prasad' some distance away from the temple.
Since January 25, 1986, when the lock of the Babri Masjid was opened paving way for the worship of Lord Rama, 'prasad' was distributed from there.
