The Board of Trustees of Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust plans to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the week-long ‘Pran-Pratishtha’ ceremony, during which the idol of Ram Lalla will be installed in the Ram temple’s sanctum sanctorum in Ayodhya. The ceremony is set to begin on Makar Sankranti, which falls in January 2024. The Trust is currently seeking advice from astrologers to determine an auspicious date for the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony.
According to Champat Rai, the general secretary of the Trust, Ayodhya Pran-Pratishtha ceremonies will also be organised in temples across the country. The Trust will invite Prime Minister Modi to the seven-day-long Pran-Pratishtha ceremony once a date for the event has been determined, which will be between December 2023 and January 26, 2024.
Recently, construction work has begun related to the flooring of the ground floor of the Ram Mandir, and work is set to commence on Thursday. The white Markana marble of Rajasthan will be used for the flooring of the Ram Mandir, and Rai is confident that construction work on the ground floor will be completed by the end of this year.
