The shrine at Raveri is unique not only in its reverence of a mother’s fortitude but also as a one-of-its-kind place of worship where idols of Sita and her twins Luv and Kush stand without Ram and Lakshman’s omnipresence.<br /> 
After the temple was ren ovated and the original, weather-beaten idol replaced with a newly carved stone replica, the entire village came together on November 7to celebrate the reopening.<br /> <br /> 
“While attention is focused on Ayodhya, here in Raveri, we have breathed new life into our temple dedicated to Sita. Our devotion transcends generations, and we are thrilled to have a new idol grace our temple,” said Wamanrao Chatap, a leader of the farmers’ group Shetkari Sanghatana.<br /> <br /> 
The organisation’s founder, Sharad Joshi, is credited with highlighting the uniqueness of the shrine in 2001 after being moved by the portrayal of Sita as a single mother raising her sons to be the deserving inheritors of Ram’s legacy.<br /> <br /> 
“He saw this as symbolising the strength of mothers and made it his mission to reconstruct the temple as a monument to courage. Now, it’s an inspiration to all single mothers, particularly widows in farming communities,” Chatap said.</div>
