New Delhi, June 16 :     Is Lord Ram a left-hander or a right-hander? No one is quite sure, but the VHP is squirming in embarrassment after one of its sculptors made Lord Ram a left-hander. The ignorance - or, more likely, sloppiness - of the sculptor has delayed the VHP's proposed yatra from Jaipur to Ayodhya by about three months. The yatra, which was to have been flagged off later this month, has now been deferred to September-end or early October. The reason: a marble idol of Lord Ram was sculpted with the dhanush (bow) in his right hand instead of the left. The faux pas was detected a few days ago when all arrangements had been made for the yatra. The intervening period between June and September till Navratri (falling between September-end or the first week of October) is considered inauspicious. The yatra will, most probably, be flagged off in October, VHP sources said. The idol of Ram Lalla was to have accompanied a replica of the Ayodhya temple made of thermacol. The model temple - 21 feet high, 14 feet long and 11 feet wide - is already complete. A new marble statue of Ram Lalla is being sculpted with the dhanush in the left hand, VHP chief Acharya Giriraj Kishore told The Telegraph today. The yatra from Jaipur with the Ram mandir and Ram Lalla will cruise through four states on way to Ayodhya and could take three to four days to reach the temple town. The yatris will take turns in walking and specially-designed raths (read trucks) have been ordered. The VHP has already announced its plans to begin constructing the Ram temple at the disputed site where the Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992. Asked whether Ram was a left-hander or a right-hander, senior BJP vice-president J.P. Mathur, quoting from an advertisement jingle, said in a lighter vein that he was not sure, but the BJP was neither left nor right but 'dil se'. Mathur said he did not anticipate any law and order problem as a result of the proposed yatra. He said there will be problems only if the 'secularists' create them. Another senior vice-president, Jana Krishnamurthy, said the VHP was free to do what they deemed fit. 'Every organisation is independent. We have nothing to say on it (the yatra). As for any law and order problem, it is up to the government to tackle it,' Krishnamurthy said. Acharya Giriraj Kishore said the VHP was not doing anything illegal. 'I do not think there will be any interference from the government's side. We are not doing anything illegal. There will be no threat to law and order. The yatra will be peaceful,' he said.
