The rituals leading to Ayodhya Ram Mandir consecration have entered the fourth day. Starting at 9 am, the day's proceedings included the lighting of holy fire, 'Navagraha' establishment, and a 'Havan'.
Shri Ram Lalla's idol underwent various abodes, such as 'Aushdhadhiwas' and 'Kesaradhiwas', signifying different aspects of divine essence and spiritual significance.
The temple doors will remain closed to visitors until January 22, the day when the grand inauguration of the temple will be witnessed by millions.
With the approaching 'Pran Pratishtha' Day, security in Ayodhya's Karsevakpuram, where Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust General Secretary Champat Rai resides, has been intensified.
Ayodhya showcased a visual spectacle with posters of Ram Lalla adorning the city indicative of the excitement and grandeur surrounding the impending ceremony.
The ongoing 'Amrit Mahotsava' celebrations in Ayodhya reflect the city's anticipation for the upcoming 'Pran Pratishtha' event.
As part of celebrations, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has set up free tea stalls across the city.
In recognition of the grand ceremony, the Centre has declared a half-day closure for all central government offices on January 22, facilitating nationwide participation in the grand opening.
