While sharing a copy of entry pass in a post on X, the temple trust said, “Information for dignitaries invited in Prana Pratishtha Utsav: Entry into Pran Pratishtha Utsav of Bhagwan Shri Ramlalla Sarkar can only be allowed after scanning the QR code mentioned on the entry pass issued by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra. The invitation card alone doesn’t guarantee entry in the utsav. A copy of the entry pass is attached here.”
The saga of the Ram Mandir dates back centuries, rooted in the beliefs and reverence of millions of Hindus who consider Ayodhya to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. After years of legal battles and negotiations, the Supreme Court of India gave its verdict in November 2019, paving the way for the construction of the grand temple at the disputed site.
The 51-inch idol of Lord Ram, carved by famed sculptor Arun Yogiraj, was placed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in Ayodhya after 12:30 pm on Thursday. At 1:20 pm, the host gave the main resolution and the idol was cleansed with water as part of the ‘Jaladhivas’ ritual and ‘Ganesh Pujan’ and ‘Varun Pujan’ was held on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the week-long vedic rituals for the pran-pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of Lord Ram Lalla in the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple entered their fourth day on Friday with the lighting of the holy fire at 9am followed by the establishment of ‘Navagraha’ and a ‘Havan’.
Covered with a veil, the idol portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus also crafted from the same stone. The preparations are in full swing in Ayodhya for the mega pran-prathistha ceremony of Lord Ram Lalla in the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Temple on January 22.
Given the immense religious and emotional significance of the event, security measures are being implemented with utmost diligence. The entry passes play a crucial role in this aspect, serving as a means of controlled access to the ceremony. Stringent security checks and protocols are expected to be in place to ensure the safety of the attendees and the smooth progression of the proceedings.
