At present the construction work of the temple is going on very fast. Recently, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had also visited Ayodhya to review the construction work of the temple. With the inauguration of the temple, it will be opened to the general public and devotees from all over the world will be able to visit the Mandir for darshan.
Earlier, Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairperson Nripendra Mishra had said the construction of the ground floor of the three-storey temple in Ayodhya will be completed by December this year. The rest of the floors are expected to be completed within the stipulated time.
The Mandir trust has decided to commence the consecration of Ram Lalla after Makar Sankranti on January 14, and it will be followed by the 10-day ritual of ‘Pran Pratishtha’ (blessing) of Ram Lalla. According to the Chief Priest of Ram Mandir, Acharya Satyendra Das Ji Maharaj, the rituals will be held from January 15 to January 24.
It is notable that RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) chief Mohan Bhagwat had already informed that the Idol of Lord Ram will be installed in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024. Various events will also be organised at different places across the country to celebrate this occasion. A museum is also to be established on the banks of Saryu, in which the sculptures and other remains discovered at the site will be displayed.
