With only one day until the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, visitors from all over the country and around the world are arriving in the city.
Ayodhya has seen an increase in the number of saints from various places. Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister, met with saints at Atithi Bhawan.
On January 22, Mahamandaleshwar Das Ji Maharaj of Madhya Pradesh’s Chotrakoot expressed his happiness over Ram Lalla Pran Prathishtha.
“On October 7, 1984, on the banks of the Sarayu River, we decided to rebuild Ram Temple. We travelled to Lucknow to meet then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and took seven days to complete the journey. She wanted to pay attention to the situation, but then she died.

Mahamandaleshwar Das Ji Maharaj emphasised the efforts of the Prime Minister and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
“We waited 500 years for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.” We prayed to Lord Ram for a prime minister and chief minister who could make it happen.”
Mahamandaleshwar Das Ji Maharaj explained how karsevaks were dragged and beaten.
“My father had been beaten and dragged. The police beat a Mahatma with a baton and broke his hand.
Previously, Arun Yogiraj sculpted the new idol, which was placed inside the temple’s sanctum sanctorum.
The idol stands 51 inches tall and weighs 1.5 tonnes. The idol depicts Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus carved from the same stone. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead rituals commemorating the ‘Pran Pratishtha’.
