In a significant and emotional ceremony, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi participated in the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Shri Ramlalla in the newly-built Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya on Monday. The Prime Minister, expressing his feelings on Twitter, called the moment of Pran Prathishta of Shri Ram Lala in Ayodhya Dham a unique and emotional experience. The ceremony, marking the consecration of the idol, was attended by over 8,000 guests, including RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, and state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Representatives from various spiritual and religious sects across the country, as well as members of tribal communities, were present at the historic event. Prime Minister Modi addressed the distinguished gathering and interacted with shramjeevis associated with the construction of the temple. He also visited Kuber Tila, where the ancient Mandir of Bhagwan Shiv has been restored.
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, constructed in traditional Nagara style, stands magnificently with dimensions of 380 feet length, 250 feet width, and 161 feet height. Supported by 392 pillars and 44 doors, the temple showcases intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities on its pillars and walls. The main sanctum sanctorum at the ground floor houses the idol of Shri Ramlalla, depicting the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram.
The temple’s main entrance is on the eastern side, accessed by ascending 32 stairs through the Singh Dwar. The Mandir features five Halls, including Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prathana Mandap, and Kirtan Mandap. Adjacent to the Mandir is the historic Well (Sita koop), dating back to ancient times. In the southwestern part of the Mandir complex, at Kuber Tila, the ancient Mandir of Bhagwan Shiv has been restored, along with the installation of a statue of Jatayu.
The Mandir’s foundation boasts a 14-meter-thick layer of roller-compacted concrete (RCC), giving it the appearance of artificial rock. Notably, no iron has been used in the Mandir’s construction. To combat ground moisture, a 21-foot-high plinth made of granite has been erected. The Mandir complex is equipped with a sewage treatment plant, water treatment plant, water supply for fire safety, and an independent power station, showcasing the use of traditional and indigenous technology in its construction.
