nytimes.com/2024/04/21/world/asia/india-voting-violence-manipur.html
Quick Glance: Election Redo in Manipur Due to Violence
- In Manipur, a northeastern state troubled by ethnic unrest, voting booths were raided and fake ballots were cast.
- India's election authorities have instructed officials to redo voting at various polling locations in the troubled northeastern state of Manipur after armed men attacked polling stations and seized voting booths despite the presence of paramilitary soldiers.
- The conflict in Manipur, which began last May, has essentially divided the region, home to about three million people, pitting two ethnic groups against each other: the mostly Hindu Meiteis, who are a narrow majority, and members of Christian hill tribes known as Kukis.
- Following reports from the region's election commissioner describing mob violence, gunfire, damage to electronic voting machines, and fake voters entering the booths, voting will be repeated at 11 polling stations.

Ram Navami 2024: Sunlight brightens up Lord Ram’s forehead in ‘Surya Tilak’ ceremony in Ayodhya
financialexpress.com/india-news/ram-navami-2024-sunlight-illuminates-lord-ram-forehead-surya-tilak-in-ayodhya/3459711/
Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak
- The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.
- During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.
- At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.
- Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.
