In a momentous ceremony at 1.28 pm on Thursday, the 51-inch-tall idol of Ram Lalla, crafted by Arun Yogiraj, graced its sanctum. The impending ‘hawan’ rituals add anticipation, marking a profound spiritual milestone in Ayodhya. The atmosphere resonates with divine chants, setting the stage for sacred proceedings. The symbolic installation becomes a beacon of spiritual significance in the hearts of devotees.
Installation Of Ram Lalla Idol
At the ordained hour, the sacred idol, weighing 200 kg, was carefully installed in the temple’s sanctum. Supervised by engineers due to space constraints, the event marked a seamless transition and continuity in the spiritual journey. The meticulous installation process showcased a harmonious blend of religious reverence and engineering precision, ensuring the idol’s secure placement within the sanctum sanctorum.
Complete Look Of Ram Lalla
Draped in a wet cloth for the “Jaladhivas” ritual and adorned with a special paste of Chandan and Kesar for “Gandhadhivas,” the idol symbolizes purity and divine grace. Simultaneously, rituals continue on the old “Rajat” or “Utsav” idol, bridging the past with the present. The use of sacred elements like Chandan and Kesar not only adds aesthetic significance but also deepens the spiritual symbolism, signifying the infusion of divine fragrance and essence into the consecrated idol.
Preparation For ‘Hawan’ Ritual
As the stage is set for the upcoming ‘hawan’ ritual, the “mandap” undergoes preparations, aligning with the sacred traditions. This prelude to the consecration ceremony on January 22 adds an air of anticipation and communal fervor. The meticulous preparation of the ‘mandap’ involves intricate detailing, ensuring that it becomes a sacred space conducive to the spiritual energy invoked during the ‘hawan’ ritual.
Government Declaration And Public Participation
Acknowledging the spiritual significance, the central government declares a half-day on January 22. The decision aims to allow public participation in the celebrations, emphasizing the cultural and collective importance of the event. This government declaration not only underscores the national recognition of the sacred occasion but also encourages a sense of unity and participation, making the event a collective celebration for the entire community.
National Recognition And Prime Minister’s Commemoration
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released commemorative postage stamps dedicated to the temple, emphasizing their role in educating the younger generation about Lord Ram’s life. The stamps, a global tribute to Ramayana, further unite nations in celebrating the teachings of love, sacrifice, unity, and courage. The Prime Minister’s gesture not only honors the temple’s religious significance but also promotes cultural exchange and understanding on an international level, fostering global harmony through shared spiritual values.
As rituals unfold and anticipation builds, the installation of the new Ram Lalla idol becomes a shared spiritual journey. At 9 am on Friday, as the ‘hawan’ ceremony begins, the sacred flame kindles both the temple and devotees’ hearts. This ritual establishes an enduring link with divine grace, fostering a profound spiritual connection. The harmonious celebration encapsulates tradition, precision, and national recognition, embodying the deep cultural significance of the event.
