Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers .Compiled and posted by R. Gopalakrishnan, on 26-01-2024 Q1 Why areHanuman and Sita missing from Ram Temple in Ayodhya? I have always seen Ramwith Sita and Hanuman. A1 SiddharthSinha,20h The Mandir is the birth place of God Rama, and so the Mandir has a Deity of God Ramaas a 5 year old. This, the Deity is called RAM LALLA (child Ram, in an abstract waybecause ‘Lalla has no precise meaning in English). Because the Mandir dedicated to Child Rama, Mata Sita orHanuman were not a part of His life at the time, and so, having their Idols would makeno sense. Q2 Why isUdupi Krishna seen through a window? A2 RathiS,Iam interested in reading and writing.Updated Dec 5 Sri Madhvacharya constructed this Navagraha Kindi in histime as our beloved Udupi Sri Krishna is made by God Vishwakarma at SriKrishna's request for mata Rukmini Devi.She worshipped it till Dwarka wassubmerged by the sea,then idol went inside Gopi chandana gadde. >From dwaraka Krishna (who is sarvottama)came to Udupi forShri madhvacharya(who >is jeevottama,god vayu,incarnated ashanuma-bheema-madhva, he is intermediary >between Vishnu and Dvaita devotees,guiding the latter in their journey towards >Vishnu. As told by Sri Madhvacharya, in his Tantrasara Sangraha,the Vigraha is placed Pashchimabhimukha (facing west). This Krishna is made by none other than Vishvakarma(divine architect of the devas). It is worshipped by Rukminee devi during dwapara yuga. It is worshipped by Shree Madhvacharya and later continuedby his disciples. No one is allowed to touch the diety except eight mathasanyasi. The newly inherited swamiji need to perform chaturmaasyavrata before worshipping krishna. In order to protect the divinity of the idol,we can't goinside the garbhagriha and we can only see the lord from Navagraha kindi.

A4 JosephAspler,Sep 20 A detective stopped by a farm. He told the owner, “I need to inspect your farm forillegal drugs”. The farmer said, “OK, but don’t go into the field over there”.

The man tries everything to silence the parrot: he coversthe cage, he turns on loud music, he threatens to hit the parrot... but it's all of no use. After a few days of incessant ranting, he becomes so unnerved that he grabs the parrot and putsit in the freezer. The parrot is rioting around at first, but then suddenlyeverything in the freezer becomes dead quiet. The man feels guilty and is afraid that the parrot mayhave died of fear.
