Pali, 1 July (HS). When the Hanuman Gada Rath Yatra that started from Udaipur reached Pali on Monday, people were thrilled to see the 21 feet long Hanuman mace made of ashtadhatu. Everyone was excited to get their photo clicked with the huge mace placed on the vehicle. Women worshipped the mace and performed aarti. People were seen dancing and singing standing near the mace. On reaching Pali, devotees welcomed the Hanuman Gada Rath Yatra by showering flowers at various places. The members of the Rath Yatra will rest at Bajrang Baag in Pali on Monday night. After this, the group will leave for Jodhpur on Tuesday. The mace has been made by Kanchan Seva Sansthan of Udaipur.

Institute member Dr. Chail Bihari Sharma said that Hanuman Dham is being prepared in Rundeda village on the airport road between Bhatewar-Menar in Udaipur. Here the sculptors are building an 84 feet 11 faced Hanuman statue. The height of the Hanuman statue has been fixed at 84 feet as a symbol of 84 lakh yonis. He said- This will be the only 11 faced Hanuman statue in the world. The 21 feet mace made of ashtadhatu for the statue has been prepared in a year.
