The long-awaited Ram Mandir inauguration in Ayodhya is finally upon us, set for January 22, 2024. This momentous occasion marks the culmination of a decades-long legal and political saga, and for many Hindus, it signifies the revival of a deeply cherished symbol of faith and heritage. The event will see the installation of Lord Ram’s idol in the temple’s sanctum sanctorum, performed by priests in a traditional Vedic ceremony beginning at 12:15 pm IST. Prime Minister Modi and other dignitaries are expected to attend, amid heightened security measures. While devotees are encouraged to celebrate at their local temples due to security concerns, the Ram Mandir Trust’s first phase, including the sanctum sanctorum, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this sacred site. The intricate carvings and red sandstone architecture of the temple represent a revival of traditional Hindu art, promising a future filled with hope and spiritual significance.
Pran-Pratishtha, will begin around 12:15 pm on Jan 22
