Members of the Ramnami community in several Chhattisgarh villages have begun treating their bodies as living temples dedicated to Lord Ram.

In a series of villages across Chhattisgarh, adherents of the Ramnami sect have announced that they will regard their own bodies as temples for Lord Ram. The declaration was made by community members during a local gathering, where they explained that the human form will serve as a direct site of worship.
The participants said that by sanctifying their bodies, they aim to embody devotion and keep the divine presence constantly accessible. They intend to perform daily prayers and rituals on themselves, treating each day as an opportunity to honor the deity without the need for a separate shrine.
Local observers note that the practice is a personal expression of faith and does not involve any official religious institutions. The community hopes the gesture will inspire deeper spiritual reflection among its members while remaining a private act of reverence.
