Ayodhya Ram Mandir Inauguration: 'Ram Se Rashtra', Says PM Modi After Temple Consecration
The Ram Lalla idol at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was unveiled in the presence of PM Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
Ayodhya Ram Temple Consecrated In Grand Event, Months Ahead Of National Polls
The new Ram Lalla idol was consecrated at the Ayodhya temple on Monday, an event led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, just months away from the crucial Lok Sabha elections.
“Our Ram has come,” Modi said in his address that followed the consecration, which also marks the inauguration of the temple. It is expected to open Tuesday to the public.
The ceremony took place in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
The new idol depicts Ram at the age of five, and was carved from black stone by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj.
The Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir has been constructed in the traditional Nagara style. Its east-west length is 380 feet, width 250 feet and height 161 feet. It is supported by 392 pillars and has 44 doors.
The 2019 Supreme Court judgement made way for the Ram temple at the disputed Ayodhya site, where stood the Babri Masjid that was demolished by karsevaks in 1992.
Several opposition parties largely skipped the temple inauguration event, calling it a political event organised by the BJP.
