Ayodhya, March 23 (NationPress) The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust announced that all idols of Ram Darbar are set to arrive in Ayodhya on April 30. Following this, the date for the forthcoming ceremony will be established.
The completion of the temple's first floor will signify the Pran Pratishtha ceremony for Ram Darbar in Ayodhya.
Once completed, the Ram Darbar will serve as one of the most revered areas within the Ram Mandir complex.
To ensure a grand ceremony, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has made extensive arrangements for the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Darbar.
This Darbar will showcase four-and-a-half-foot tall marble idols of Mata Sita, Lord Hanuman, Lord Ram, and his brothers Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughan.
Crafted from white Makrana marble sourced from Rajasthan, these idols are expected to arrive in Ayodhya by the end of next month, as stated by Anil Mishra, a member of the Trust.
To preserve the sanctity of the site, access to the temple's first floor will be limited to a select number of devotees.
The temple's second floor will feature a display of the Ramayana in various languages, including its oldest known version.
Last August, the Trust also received a Titanium Ram Darbar from Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI), which will be located in the sanctum sanctorum on the first floor of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
It is noteworthy that MIDHANI operates under the Union Defence Ministry.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Ram Mandir on January 22 last year.
Alongside the 51-inch tall black stone idol of the five-year-old Ram, renowned sculptor Arun Yogiraj also created a Ram Darbar for installation in the temple, which sparked controversy due to the statue of Laxman with folded arms lacking scriptural significance as per the Ramayana or Ram Charitmanas.
Nevertheless, the public sentiments ignited by this development among Hindus initiated a series of events that eventually led to a lengthy legal battle, culminating in the Supreme Court's verdict on November 9, 2019, affirming this location as the birthplace of Lord Ram.
