Key Ceremony At Ayodhya Ram Temple Concludes, Yogi Adityanath Attends
Ayodhya: A spiritually charged atmosphere enveloped Ayodhya on Thursday as the Pran Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony of Shri Ram Darbar and other deities was completed with great devotion in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The elaborate ritual, held on the occasion of Ganga Dussehra, marked the culmination of a three-day religious ceremony held within the Ram Janmabhoomi complex. The sound of Vedic mantras, conch shells, and Acharyas' chants reverberated across the holy city, lending an air of divine solemnity to the event. The final day began with the worship of invoked deities at the Yagya Mandap at 6.30 a.m., followed by a havan at 9 a.m. The highlight was the use of modern audio-visual technology that connected the entire area during the pran prathishtha. Vedic tradition and modern technology blended for the consecration of idols in different shrines at the same muhurta. Deities consecrated included Shri Ram Darbar, Sheshavatar, Shiva (northeast corner), Ganesh Ji (southeast), Hanuman Ji (south), Surya Dev (southwest), Maa Bhagwati (northwest), and Annapurna Mata (north). The rituals concluded with a special Aarti and Bhandara (community feast), attended by a large gathering of saints, Vedic scholars, officials from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, and thousands of devotees from India and abroad. Adding a personal dimension to the occasion, the event coincided with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's birthday, for which he sought blessings from Lord Shri Ram. The day also marked the Trayodashi Janmotsav (birth anniversary) of the Saryu River, amplifying the spiritual significance. Several members of the saint community hailed the Chief Minister for restoring the ancient glory of Ram Nagari (Ayodhya) through the construction of the grand temple and the comprehensive development of the city. Over the past eight years, Ayodhya has undergone a massive transformation with development projects worth over Rs 32,000 crore, including upgrades in roads, railways, an international airport, riverfront beautification, and enhanced tourism infrastructure. Landmark projects like the Ram Katha Park, rejuvenation of the Saryu ghats, and the development of a modern temple complex have reshaped Ayodhya's identity and placed it firmly on the global map. To ensure the smooth conduct of the grand event, the administration made elaborate security arrangements. The temple and surrounding areas were under multi-layered surveillance, with deployments from the ATS, CRPF, PAC, and local police. SP Security said the site was under impenetrable security cover, aided by modern surveillance systems.

Second Ram Darbar Pran Pratishtha at Ayodhya's Ram temple: Check date, time
The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is currently hosting its second 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony (June 5). The ceremony will see the installation of Raja Ram and other deities at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex — a significant milestone following the inaugural Pran Pratishtha held in January last year. Ram Darbar second Pran Pratishtha: Date and time The festivities began on June 3 and will conclude on June 5, with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath presiding as the chief guest. The Anjaneya Sewa Trust is overseeing the event, which will commence at 11 am on Thursday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will preside over the installation of the Ram Darbar on the first floor of the temple, a ceremony that coincides with his 53rd birthday. Shashikant Maharaj, president of the Anjani Seva Sansthan, detailed the rituals that will mark Raja Ram's reinstallation. These will include Vedic chanting and a havan, with the chief minister also performing the ceremonial 'uncovering of the eyes' of the idols of Lord Ram and Sita. Second Pran Pratishtha: Security, crowd management Extensive security arrangements have been put in place for the three-day celebrations. However, devotees can continue their routine darshan of Ram Lalla. Authorities have initiated a verification process for tenants and residents in unauthorised settlements, and personnel from the CRPF, SSF, and PAC are on site. As part of the ceremony, 62,000 boxes of prasad are being dispatched from Lucknow. Kshitij Gupta, marketing head of Chhappan Bhog, said the prasad includes barfi made with a blend of chickpeas and moong dal. Ram Darbar installation and design In the Ram Darbar, idols of Lord Ram, Mata Sita, Hanuman, and Lakshman will be installed on a two-ft-high white marble throne. These idols and the throne were crafted in Jaipur, Rajasthan, using white marble. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir has been constructed in the traditional Nagara architectural style. Its intricately carved walls depict various Hindu deities. The Ram Darbar itself measures 4.5 ft. The idol of Lord Ram will be adorned with elaborately designed crowns, bejewelled belts, and embroidered robes featuring zari and precious stones. Costume designer Manish Tiwari was commissioned to design the deity's attire. Access restrictions and cultural exhibits at Ram Darbar To maintain the sanctity of the site, only a limited number of devotees will be allowed on the temple's first floor. The second floor will showcase the Ramayana in multiple languages, including its oldest known version. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Ram Mandir on January 22, 2024. Speaking to ANI, Mahamandaleshwar Vishnu Das explained, 'On January 22, Pran Pratishtha was done for the 'baal roop' [child form] of Lord Rama, now it is Raja Ram [King Ram].'

Ayodhya & Beyond: How Ram Mandir Defines Modi's Civilisational Legacy
Last Updated: The prime minister's leadership shows that India can honour its traditions without being shackled by them, that it can build a modern state while nurturing its soul The air in Ayodhya bustles with a pulse—sandalwood and rosewater blended with the faint hum of anticipation—as if the city itself is holding its breath. On Thursday, the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Darbar idols on the temple's first floor, alongside consecrations in six other shrines within its sprawling complex, marked a moment that transcends rituals. The Ram Mandir stands as a bridge between India's ancient soul and its restless modern ambitions, a monument forged from faith, sacrifice, and an unyielding will to reclaim a piece of its story. The Ram Mandir is no ordinary structure. It embodies centuries of longing and sacrifice—generations who whispered prayers for a temple to Lord Ram as their voices carried the weight of historical wounds. The site, once a battleground of competing narratives, now hosts a soaring edifice of sandstone and marble. Its gold-plated spires pierce the sky like a quiet declaration of victory. Yet, the temple's grandeur lies not just in its scale, but in its improbable speed. From the Supreme Court's 2019 verdict clearing the way to its near-completion in just five years, the Ram Mandir is a testament to what India can achieve when its heart and hands align. This breakneck pace owes much to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve. He saw the temple not as a mere construction project but as a national vow. Modi's approach was surgical: he appointed Nripendra Mishra, his former principal secretary, to helm the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Mishra, a bureaucrat with a reputation for cutting through red tape, became the project's linchpin. Under his watch, artisans from across India carved stone with techniques passed down through generations. Modi's oversight was relentless, from securing funds to smoothing over bureaucratic hurdles, ensuring the project never stalled. The prime minister regularly reviewed the temple's progress, sending a clear message each time: this was India's mission, and it would not falter. The Mandir's rise is a mirror to India's evolving cultural narrative. For too long, parts of the nation's intellectual elite viewed overt expressions of Hindu heritage with unease, dismissing them as backward and divisive, or worse, as attempts to discount Indian 'secularism." The temple challenges that hesitance. It stands as an unapologetic embrace of India's spiritual roots, not as a rejection of modernity but as a foundation for it. The complex itself reflects this balance: alongside the Ram Darbar, temples to Shiva, Hanuman, Ganpati, Surya Dev, Mata Bhagwati, Annapurna, and Sheshavatar weave a tapestry of Sanatan Dharma's pluralism. This is not a monolithic vision of faith but a vibrant mosaic, inviting all to find their place within its fold. The Mandir's inclusivity is manifest by the fact that its doors open to every caste, creed, and community. It is a living symbol of a nation growing comfortable in its own skin, ready to assert its identity on a global stage. Yes, the Ram Mandir movement was always political. The Ram Mandir itself, apart from being a holy site of worship and a spiritual centre for Hindus, is also a living symbol of Bharat's civilisational resilience. It is a testament to Dharma always prevailing over injustice and adharma. That is truly the essence of Shri Ram himself. Even if it takes over 500 years to reestablish, the final victory of right over wrong is a given. In this case, the wrong was the demolition of the original Ram Mandir by Babur and his army of marauders. It was an out and out act of adharma. The realisation of the Ram Mandir dream in Ayodhya marks the arrival of the 'political Hindu". This is a Hindu who no longer accepts marginalisation in the name of vote bank politics. This is a Hindu that knows how to take what rightfully belongs to them. This is a Hindu that is proud of Bharat's ancient civilisation, and is not unnecessarily enamoured by alien concepts of 'secularism" and the complete elimination of dharma from politics. This is a Hindu that realises that the establishment of Raj Dharma is critical to India's journey ahead. Modi's legacy is deeply entwined with this achievement. He has taken a site of historical pain—a wound that festered through decades of legal battles and communal strife—and transformed it into a symbol of unity. His leadership shows that India can honour its traditions without being shackled by them, that it can build a modern state while nurturing its soul. The temple's construction is a marvel of collective effort. Artisans laboured alongside engineers, their hands shaping stone while cranes hummed overhead. Local communities, from shopkeepers to farmers, rallied to support the influx of workers and pilgrims. The project's funding, drawn from donations across India and the diaspora, reflects a shared stake in its success. This was not the work of one man or one government but of a civilisation pooling its energies toward a singular goal. The result is a structure that feels both timeless and immediate, its carvings telling stories of ancient sages while its very existence speaks to India's modern resolve.
