Ram Lalla Idol Installed In Ayodhya Temple

As part of the intricate rituals leading up to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony
scheduled for January 22, the idol of Ram Lalla was reverently placed in the
'Garbha Griha' of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Thursday, accompanied by
jubilant chants of 'Jai Shri Ram.'
In a significant prelude to the impending ceremony, a special puja took place in
the sanctum sanctorum before the idol was carefully brought inside using a
crane on Wednesday night. A video shared by Sharad Sharma, the media in-
charge of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, captured the joyous atmosphere within the
temple.
The sculpture of Ram Lalla, crafted by Karnataka sculptor Arun Yogiraj, has
been chosen for installation at the
Ram Temple. "The Murti sculpted
on Krishna Shila, by renowned
sculptor Arun Yogiraj, has been
selected as Shri Vigraha of
Bhagwan Shri Ramlalla Sarkar,"
announced Shri Ram Janmbhoomi
Teerth Kshetra.
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra is the trust entrusted
with the construction and management of the grand Ram
Temple in Ayodhya. The Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram's idol is
slated for 12:30 PM on January 22 at the grand temple, in the esteemed presence of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. Elaborate arrangements are underway for the auspicious ceremony.
