Ayodhya: On Monday, amidst elaborate celebrations in the town, the consecration of the new Ram Lalla idol took place at the recently constructed temple. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi actively participated in the rituals during the event.
With a silver ‘chattar’ (umbrella) on a red folded dupatta, Modi entered the temple premises. He performed the ‘sankalp’ for the “pran pratishtha ceremony” and proceeded to the sanctum sanctorum for the associated rituals.
During the ceremonies, RSS’s Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath were also present inside the sanctum sanctorum.
As part of the celebration, military helicopters showered flower petals over the temple premises during the consecration.
“The extraordinary moment of the consecration of Shri Ram Lala’s life in Ayodhya Dham is going to leave everyone emotional. It is my great pleasure to be a part of this divine program. Hail Siya Ram!,” Modi said on X.
Following the ceremony, Modi is scheduled to address the gathering and later visit the Kuber Tila. Additionally, he plans to engage with the workers involved in the construction of the temple.
