The preparations for the consecration of Lord Ram's idol in Ayodhya are underway on a global scale, with people from around the world expected to attend.
The collective prayers for peace, progress, and harmony echo a sentiment of shared values, transcending religious boundaries and fostering a spirit of togetherness during this significant moment in Ayodhya's history.
Notably, the Pran Pratishtha ceremony will be held at Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will perform rituals to mark the 'Pran Pratishtha'.
A team of priests led by Lakshmikant Dixit will lead the main rituals.
Several celebrities and noted personalities have received invitations to the ceremony.
Various activities have been planned by organisations and groups across India and abroad in the lead-up to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya.
Settling the centuries-old dispute with regards to 2.77 acres of land in Ayodhya, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram, the Supreme Court on November 9 in 2019 by a unanimous decision gave the possession of the contested property to a trust that will oversee the construction and management of the Ram temple.
