Ayodhya:In a significant development, the iconic Hanuman Garhi Laddus from Ayodhya have been granted the Geographical Indication (GI) tag, echoing the unique qualities and distinctiveness associated with this revered sweet treat. This accolade positions the laddus alongside other renowned GI-tagged products, such as the Tirupati Balaji laddus, reaffirming their cultural and historical significance.
The news of the GI tag accreditation resonated deeply among devotees and locals alike. Manish Singh, a devout follower who frequents the Hanuman Garhi temple, expressed his elation, stating, “The registration of the Hanuman Garhi Laddu for the GI tag fills us with immense pride. This achievement holds special significance as we approach the inauguration of the Ram Mandir.”
The artisan behind the Hanuman Garhi Laddus extended heartfelt gratitude to the government for recognizing the laddu’s unique heritage. Emphasizing its longstanding popularity, he remarked, “These laddus have been cherished for generations, accompanying devotees on their journeys far and wide. The GI tag further elevates its esteemed status.”
Situated in Ayodhya, the world-renowned temple of Bajrangbali Hanuman Garhi stands as a testament to Lord Hanuman’s revered position as the guardian of Ayodhya. Legend has it that seeking Lord Hanuman’s blessings is paramount before one can have the darshan of Lord Ram, underscoring its cultural and spiritual importance.
A Geographical Indication (GI) tag serves as a hallmark signifying a product’s unique origin and qualities derived from its native region. Introduced in India in 2003, the GI tag highlights products that encapsulate distinct characteristics rooted in their geographical heritage.
