Ram Mandir Ayodhya: Today, on the auspicious occasion of Ganga Dussehra, another golden chapter has been added to the religious and cultural heritage of Ayodhya. In the city of Lord Shri Ram, Ayodhya, today, the grand Ram Darbar built on the first floor of the Ram temple is being duly consecrated. Along with the darshan of Ramlala, now devotees will also be able to see the divine form of Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita, Laxman, Bharat, Shatrughan and Hanuman ji in Ram Darbar.

The temple complex resonates with Vedic rituals

Today, not only Ram Darbar, but also the idols of the deities are being consecrated in seven other temples built in the four corners of the sanctum sanctorum. 101 Vedic Acharyas from Ayodhya and Kashi are conducting this historic ritual with Vedic chanting. The entire temple complex has become devotional with the resonance of mantras and Vedic energy.

The ceremony is being conducted in Abhijit Muhurta

This auspicious work of Pran Pratishtha is being done in Abhijit Muhurta — which is considered to be the holiest time of the day — from 11:25 am to 11:40 am. Today is also a day of Siddha Yoga, which makes this ritual even more special. The idols of the deities are being decorated with puja, aarti, bhog and jewellery.

Special presence of CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also reached Ayodhya to witness this historic moment. He is not only attending as the chief guest, but is also participating in various religious, environmental and social programs throughout the day. From darshan pujan at Hanumangarhi in the morning to Saryu Jayanti Mahotsav and Mahant Nritya Gopal Das ji's birth anniversary, his whole day will be full of Ram.

Security and arrangements

The Ram Mandir Trust, Ayodhya district administration and security agencies have made tight arrangements for the Prana Pratishtha ceremony. Security is deployed at every step, and extensive arrangements have been made for the smooth darshan of the devotees. Earlier on Wednesday, all the idols of the deities were anointed with water from 21 holy rivers and they were taken around the entire complex.
