The Ram temple inauguration ceremony is scheduled for January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and various dignitaries in attendance.
The Lord Ram idol was placed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple on Thursday during the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. During the ritual, the first image of the idol was revealed, concealed by a veil.
Sculpted by Karnataka-based Arun Yogiraj, the ‘Ram Lalla’ idol is 1.5 tonnes in weight and 51 inches tall. In the picture, Lord Ram is seen as a five-year-old boy standing on a lotus formed of the same stone.
The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ rituals will be conducted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while a group of priests under the direction of Lakshmikant Dixit will monitor the proceedings. Several famous people and celebrities have also received invitations.
