Even the smallest items required be arranged. Let the gates of the inner apartment and of the entire city be decorated with sandalpaste and garlands. Let fragrant incense be burnt for worship.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
The gates of the inner palace and the city are to be decorated. The invitation extends from the royal chambers to every corner of Ayodhya. The entire city becomes a sacred space, adorned for Rama's consecration.
