Jan 21, 2024
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 21 : Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha said on Sunday that her party is not yet invited to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ayodhya's Ram Temple.
Speaking to ANI, the BRC leader said that she and others of her party will visit the temple town in the future.
"We have not been invited. But Shri Ram is everybody's god. We are practicing Hindus so we will certainly visit Ayodhya one day," she said.
The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's temple will take place on January 22.
The idol of Lord Ram was placed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in Ayodhya on Friday.
The idol of 'Ram Lalla' is carved by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj. The idol is 51 inches tall and weighs 1.5 tonnes. The idol portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus also crafted from the same stone.
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 also been invited to the ceremony. Most opposition parties, which are part of the Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), have said that they would skip the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
A host of Congress bigwigs and other opposition leaders have already turned down the invitation to the 'pran-pratishtha' ceremony.
