The massive Shivling stands about 33 feet tall and weighs nearly 210 tonnes. Craftsmen carved it from a single granite stone in Tamil Nadu. Special vehicles and safety arrangements are helping transport the huge structure across states.

As the Shivling passed through towns and villages, people welcomed it with flowers, prayers, and chants of “Har Har Mahadev.” Local residents, saints, and temple committees joined the processions and performed rituals on the roadside.

Officials confirmed that the Shivling will be placed inside the under-construction Virat Ramayana Temple in East Champaran district. The temple is expected to become one of the biggest religious sites in the country after completion.

On January 17, priests will conduct a grand installation ceremony using holy water from major rivers. Authorities have arranged tight security and crowd management for the event.

Religious leaders say the installation marks a proud moment for Bihar and will boost faith-based tourism in the region.

According to reports, the Bihar JDU-Congress clash occurred in the Gopalpur area where a young man suffered serious head injuries. The injured, identified as Congress worker Anoop Kushwaha, was rushed to Sadar Hospital for treatment. He later filed a complaint alleging that JDU supporters attacked him with a knife after a heated argument over flag tearing.

Witnesses said both parties had gathered near the Kuchaykot assembly constituency when tension escalated. Congress workers accused JDU members of provocation, while JDU representatives denied the charges, claiming they were assaulted first. Police have received complaints from both sides and launched an investigation to control further unrest in the election-hit region.

This incident highlights the growing political tension and need for stricter law enforcement during the Bihar polls.

Pappu Pandey, a three-time MLA from Kuchaykot and JDU candidate, was leading a roadshow when Jan Suraj Party candidate Vijay Choubey’s convoy arrived. Instead of escalating tensions, the two leaders greeted each other warmly. Pandey bowed respectfully to the senior Choubey, who responded with folded hands. They shook hands and smiled before moving on, setting an example of political decency.

Their calm response stood in contrast to the recent Mokama clash between JDU and Jan Suraj supporters, where violence led to a fatality. In Gopalganj, the peaceful exchange between Pappu Pandey and Vijay Choubey drew praise from both political circles and social media. Despite the heat of elections, their gesture proved that mutual respect can overcome rivalry and preserve harmony in Bihar politics.
