Ram Darbar consecration will see no govt VIPs presence
As per news from Nripendra Misra,
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Misra, the Ayodhya Ram Temple entire construction will be wrapped up on June 5. Subsequently, the consecration will be performed in a ceremony beginning June 3.
In an interview on Wednesday, Misra informed that the ‘pran pratishtha’ (consecration) ceremony, which is expected to be on a grand scale will be held on June 5. However, the guest list is expected to be different this time.
Last year the consecration of Ram Lalla (child Ram) was held on January 22 in a ceremony led by PM Modi. Besides that seven other temples have been constructed in the complex and the religious ceremony for those temples will also be performed on the same day.
“The construction of the temple will be completed by June 5, except for murals depicting the story of Lord Ram which are to be pitched in the lower plinth of the temple,” he said.
The seven temples include those of sages Vashistha, Valmiki, Agastya, Vishwamitra, Ahalya, Shabari and Nishadraj.
When asked about the new additions to the temple, Misra explained that there are three phases in which the temple has been constructed.
“The first phase was when the ground floor was to be completed and Ram Lalla was to be installed. So that was done in early 2024 and also the pran pratishtha was performed.
Following that, the remaining work completion of the second floor of the temple, that has now been more or less completed, and the Ram Darbar which includes Lord Ram, Sita, brothers of Lord Ram and Shri Hanuman will now go to the Garbhagrah that has been constructed on the first floor.
The idols of Ram Darbar have been crafted by artisans in Jaipur using Makrana marble found in the mines of Rajasthan.
When quizzed whether the June 5 consecration ceremony will be as grand as it was last year, Misra said the temple trust is taking a call on the final modalities.
He believed that they are selecting the list of the spiritual people who have attained a certain level and are recognised spiritual saints and sadhus. They will be invited to the ceremony.
Misra said the guests will not include VIPs from the states or the Centre.
