The Chairman of the Shri Ram Mandir Construction Committee, Narinder Mishra, stated that today at noon, the main idol of Lord Ram was placed in the sanctum sanctorum. Prior to this, on Wednesday, the idol was taken inside the complex for “Parikrama” (circumambulation) in a procession accompanied by chanting of mantras. Before that, on Wednesday, there was also a “Kalash Pujan” (ritual of consecrating the water-filled pot).
Before bringing the main idol inside with the help of a crane, a special puja was performed inside the sanctum sanctorum. According to Mishra, the idol was brought to the temple in a truck. As per the officials of the Ram Mandir Trust, the “Pran Pratishtha” ceremony in the Ram Mandir will commence at 12:20 pm on 22nd January and is expected to conclude by 1 pm.
