Ayodhya District Magistrate Anuj Kumar Jha, however, termed the mahant's condition as “stable”, adding the seer has even tested negative for the coronavirus infection.

He was tested for the infection soon after he fell ill, said Jha, adding the seer has not been keeping well for over a couple of months.

Jha said earlier in August after the 'bhoomipujan' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Ram temple construction in Ayodhya, the seer had tested positive for the infection and was admitted to the Lucknow hospital and he had recovered.
