Akshay Kumar Celebrates Diwali by Feeding Monkeys in Ayodhya

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is lighting more than just homes with diyas this Diwali; he also brings attention to the sometimes disregarded Ayodhya residents—the monkeys! In a touching gesture, Akshay set up a special feeding program for these animal companions surrounding the famous Ram Mandir so they can get the treatment and attention they are due, particularly during the hectic festival season.

Now, as everyone is aware, Diwali attracts thousands of faithful to the temple, generating a hive of activity. It's easy to overlook the native species that makes the area home among all this activity. Apart from feeding the monkeys, Akshay's project seeks to minimise any disturbance for the visiting devotees. It's a benefit-only deal!

In an honest chat, Akshay revealed his driving forces. Finding out about the difficulties monkeys in holy Ayodhya confront was depressing. I wish to treat them with my best effort. Later on, expecting his parents would be pleased of his kind deed, he also paid respect to them. "I set up to feed the monkeys under the name of my parents on Diwali. Showcasing the great personal relevance behind his activities, he said, I hope they would be delighted to see this.

Local officials have been fast to praise Akshay for his intelligent project. Ayodhya's president, Swami Raghavacharya, hailed the actor's efforts in serving the "mute beings" as well as the pilgrims. He said his thanks, hoping that Lord Rama's blessings would keep shining on Akshay, thereby underscoring the good influence of such kind deeds.

This is not Akshay Kumar's first charitable venture; it most definitely won't be his last. He is known for rising to the challenge when most important. He made news during the COVID-19 epidemic by giving the Prime Minister's Relief Fund a shockingly ₹1.21 million donation. His kindness does not stop there; over the years, he has given ₹25 crores to several charity initiatives, therefore attesting to his dedication to returning benefits to society.

Akshay's touching act reminds us all of the need of compassion—not only for our fellow humans but for all living entities—as the festival of lights goes on. It's about bringing happiness and making sure even the most underappreciated members of our society get some affection and attention.

Akshay Kumar is unique in a world where celebrity actions sometimes elicit conflicting responses as he really wants to change things. His feeding program for the monkeys aims to build a feeling of community, compassion, and connection to environment during one of India's most loved celebrations, not only about supplying food.

So, when you honour Diwali this year, consider Akshay's inspirational project. Let's keep this kind attitude so that everyone, even animals, may enjoy the season. After all, Diwali is essentially about what?
