Ayodhya's Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple mourns the loss of its chief priest, Acharya Satyendra Das, who died on Wednesday at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences. His tragic passing followed a critical health emergency after suffering a stroke on February 3.

Following his stroke, the highly regarded priest was placed in the care of the High Dependency Unit at SGPGI's Neurology ward, where he was closely monitored by senior neurologists. Notably, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally visited the hospital to inquire about his health.
