Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha
On 22nd January, the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla took place at Bhavya Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ‘Yajmaan’ at the ceremony. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, UP Governor Anandiben Patel, and hundreds of saints, seers, priests, VIPs, celebrities and people across the globe witness the ceremony. Three Ram Lalla’s Murtis were made by three different scupturists, out of which Arun Yogiraj’s Murti was selected for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha. Ram Lalla Virajmaan, the old idol at the disputed structure in the late 1940s, has also been placed at the Ram Mandir.
