Ram Temple: Ahead of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, a new outfit and flag were presented to Ram Janmabhoomi temple chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das on Sunday. This outfit and flag were dedicated by the president of Rama Dal Ayodhya, Kalki Ram Das Maharaj.
The new outfit will be adorned by Ram Lalla after the conclusion of the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony.
Acharya Satyendra Das said that these clothes are for the day when Lord Ram will sit in the main sanctum after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. "This outfit has been dedicated by the president of Rama Dal Ayodhya, Kalki Ram Das Maharaj. From time to time, he dedicates new clothes for Lord Ram Lalla, and he has also dedicated a flag that will be installed. This dress is for Lord Ram Lalla, who has been worshipped in this location since December 23, 1949," he added.
The president of Rama Dal, Kalki Ram Das Maharaj, said that these developments were possible only with the blessings of Lord Ram and the support of the government led by Prime Minister Modi at the centre.
Ornaments from Banke Bihari Temple
Devotees of the Banke Bihari Temple presented a silver conch, a flute, and various ornaments to Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Lord Ram Lalla, as offerings dedicated to Lord Ram for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
Preparations are in full swing for the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of Ram Lalla, which is expected to attract dignitaries and people from various backgrounds. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has scheduled the enthronement of Ram Lalla at the sanctum-sanctorum of the Ram Temple at noon on January 22. The Vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya are set to commence on January 16, a week before the main ceremony.
'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will preside over the ceremonial installation of Shri Ram Lalla inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. On Friday, PM Modi announced a special 11-day 'anushthan' (ritual) leading up to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ayodhya's Ram Temple.
A team of priests led by Lakshmikant Dixit will conduct the main rituals for the Pran Prathistha of Ram Lalla on January 22. There will be Amrit Mahotsav in Ayodhya from January 14 to January 22.
