In a majestic spectacle, Ayodhya, the ancient town resonates with excitement as it eagerly prepares to host the consecration ceremony of the newly-built Ram Temple. The much-anticipated 'Pran Pratishtha' of the idol of Ram Lalla, the childhood embodiment of Lord Ram, is scheduled to commence at 12:20 pm, promising to attract a diverse audience.
The grandeur of the occasion is marked by the presence of notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, high-profile celebrities, and representatives from various spiritual, religious sects, and tribal communities. The event, adorned with rituals initiated from the Saryu river on January 16, is set to culminate in the afternoon during the 'abhijeet muhurta,' guided by the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust overseeing the temple's construction.
The imposing Ram Temple, standing at a colossal 380 feet in length, 250 feet in width, and 161 feet in height, showcases architectural splendor with 392 pillars and 44 doors. The 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony will be presided over by 14 couples from different parts of India, acting as "hosts" for the consecration of the new 51-inch idol of Ram Lalla, sculpted by the skilled hands of Mysuru-based Arun Yogiraj.
Ayodhya, bedecked with flowers and radiant lights, exudes an atmosphere of religious exuberance. Security measures in the town are rigorous, featuring a multi-layered security cover equipped with 10,000 CCTV cameras and AI-driven drones. Movable barriers with barbed wires ensure controlled traffic, particularly during VVIP movements.
A distinguished guest list of 506 A-listers, including Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, business tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, adds a touch of glamour to this historic event. Notably, some opposition leaders have chosen to abstain, with the Congress categorizing the event as a "BJP-RSS affair." The city stands as a testament to the convergence of spirituality, tradition, and contemporary prominence in this momentous celebration.
