What FACTLY found

There are no reliable reports about that Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni donating a 21kg gold bow and arrow to Ayodhya Ram Mandir. If such a donation had indeed been made by Italian PM Meloni, it would have been widely reported. According to news reports, Ayodhya based Amava Ram temple has donated 2.5 kg gold bow and arrow, and Patna’s Mahavir Temple Trust also donated gold bow and arrow to Ayodhya temple. The world’s largest and heaviest Bhagavad Gita is located at Delhi’s ISKCON temple
