Consecration of 'Raja Ram' to be held at Ram Temple in Ayodhya
The consecration of 'Raja Ram' — Lord Rama in his king form — will take place on the first floor of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Thursday (June 5, 2025), coinciding with the occasion of Ganga Dussehra. This is the second consecration ceremony at the temple. The first consecration ceremony was that of the Ram Lalla idol at the temple complex on January 22, 2024 in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking to PTI, Mahant Raghuvar Sharan, the chief priest of Rasik Niwas Temple in Ayodhya, said, "This year, Ganga Dussehra will not only be sacred but also historic, as after a long struggle of 500 years, Lord Ram, known as 'Rajarama', will be ceremonially installed on the first floor of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The occasion will witness a unique blend of enthusiasm, devotion, and spirituality in Ayodhya." The consecration ceremony will be held between 11:25 a.m. and 11:40 a.m., Ram Temple trustee Anil Mishra said. According to Hindu scriptures, Ganga Dussehra marks the day the holy river Ganga descended to Earth from Lord Shiva's locks, moved by King Bhagirath's penance. The day is considered highly auspicious and symbolises virtue, penance, and the collective well-being of humanity. Ayodhya-based astrologer Pandit Kalki Ram said any auspicious deed performed on Ganga Dussehra yields manifold results. "Perhaps this is why the Ram Temple Trust chose this day for the consecration of Rajarama," he said. In addition to the main Ram Darbar, the consecration of eight other temples within the Ram Temple complex will also take place on Thursday (June 5, 2025). Mr. Mishra said the ceremonies will be conducted with full religious rituals and Vedic chants, and learned Brahmins from across the country will participate in the event. "The day of Ganga Dussehra will symbolise a new beginning. It will be the moment when the fruits of centuries of penance, struggle, and faith will manifest in tangible form," Mr. Mishra added. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also took to social media to announce the consecration ceremony. "Today, in the holy birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, Ayodhya Dham, we are getting the great fortune of becoming a witness to the program organised for the Pran-Pratishtha of the holy idols of gods in the eight temples including Shri Ram Darbar on the first floor of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple," he posted on X in Hindi. प्रभु श्री राम की पावन जन्मभूमि अयोध्या धाम में आज श्री राम जन्मभूमि मंदिर के प्रथम तल पर श्री राम दरबार सहित अष्ट देवालयों में पवित्र देव विग्रहों की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा हेतु आयोजित कार्यक्रम का साक्षी बनने का परम सौभाग्य प्राप्त हो रहा है। यह पावन अवसर 'एक भारत-श्रेष्ठ भारत' की… — Yogi Adityanath (@myogiadityanath) June 5, 2025 "This auspicious occasion is a new expression of 'Ek Bharat-Shrestha Bharat'. Victory to Siyavar Shri Ramachandra!" he added.

‘Truly Rare': Sargun Mehta On Ravi Dubey Putting Her Name First In Credits
Last Updated: Sargun Mehta shared how once she had written Ravi Dubey's name first and the latter was quite upset about it. Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta 's love story has been nothing short of enchanting for their followers. From their gorgeous images together to the duo always supporting each other, they have served some major couple goals. While they have often shared about what makes their bond unshakeable, in the latest, Sargun mentioned how Ravi has always insisted on putting her name first in any credit or reference. Sargun Mehta told ETimes how once she had written Ravi Dubey's name first, and the latter was quite upset about it. While she insisted that they are in this together, he had emphasised her name being written first always. She added, 'That's something truly rare-very few people put their wives first, but Ravie always has. No matter the scale of my work-whether I did two rupees or ten rupees worth-he always says, 'Sargun did it.' He gives me more credit than I deserve. Maybe that's why he always puts my name first." However, Ravi's views on the matter were a little different. He insisted that it was not about setting an example and purely professional. He said, 'Within Dreamiyata as an enterprise, the leader we all rally behind, including myself, is Sargun Mehta. Her name coming first isn't about setting a precedent or creating an image. You can ask anyone at our production house-Sargun is the king, queen, emperor, empress-everything. I'm the commander-in-chief and proud to be a good one, but she's the visionary." Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey met on the set of their daily soap, 12/24 Karol Bagh. Ravi planned a dramatic proposal during his appearance on Nach Baliye Season 5 in December 2012. Following their performance, he knelt down and proposed to Sargun on national television with a ring. On December 7, 2013, the pair married in a traditional Hindu ceremony. Beyond their personal lives, Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey have set examples as producers. The duo has launched a few shows under their banner, Dreamiyata Dramaa. First Published:
