The Mahalakshmi Temple in Ratlam will be decorated with bundles of banknotes and gold‑silver jewellery, and devotees can view the elaborate setup from Dhanteras for five days.
Ratlam’s Mahalakshmi Temple is set to receive a unique festive makeover, with decorative piles of currency notes and an array of gold and silver ornaments planned for the upcoming Dhanteras celebrations. The temple authorities have coordinated the embellishment to highlight the auspicious occasion, which marks the beginning of the Hindu festival of lights.
The proposed adornments will feature tightly bound bundles of Indian banknotes arranged in decorative patterns, alongside traditional jewellery pieces crafted from gold and silver. This combination of monetary and precious‑metal displays is intended to symbolize prosperity and divine blessings for the worshippers.
From Dhanteras onward, the temple will remain open for a five‑day period, allowing devotees to witness the elaborate decorations and offer prayers. Local officials anticipate a steady flow of visitors eager to experience the distinctive visual presentation, though no specific crowd estimates have been released.
