A Land Steeped in History: The Ayodhya Ram Mandir's Lineage

According to Hindu belief, the site was the birthplace of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, the preserver god in the Hindu trinity. Historical records mention the existence of a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya dating back to ancient times. However, the 16th century witnessed the construction of a mosque on the disputed site, creating a long-standing religious and political controversy.

A New Dawn: Construction of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir

In 2019, a historic Supreme Court verdict paved the way for the construction of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

The sprawling complex will also include a number of mandapas (halls) for prayers and gatherings, reflecting the grandeur of traditional Hindu temple architecture.

A Beacon of Faith: The Religious Significance of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir

For millions of Hindus, the Ayodhya Ram Mandir represents the culmination of a long-held dream. Lord Rama is considered the ideal king, embodying the virtues of righteousness, courage, and devotion.

Know All About the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Yatra and Location

The Ayodhya Ram Mandir is a Hindu temple being built in the city of Ayodhya in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. This temple is dedicated to the god Rama, who is one of the most widely revered Hindu deities. The construction of this grand temple has been a dream for millions of Hindus across India and the world for many decades.

The temple is located on a piece of land that was previously home to the Babri Masjid, a mosque that was demolished in 1992 by Hindu activists who believed the site was the birthplace of Lord Rama. This led to widespread riots and violence across India. In 2019, the Supreme Court of India ruled that the disputed land should be given to a trust to build the Ram Mandir.

Many Hindu devotees believe visiting and worshiping at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is a sacred pilgrimage known as the Ram Mandir Yatra. Yatra means journey or pilgrimage in Hindi. It is expected that once the temple is complete, millions of pilgrims will flock to Ayodhya every year to take part in this holy yatra.

The temple itself is being constructed to be a massive three-story stone structure covering an area of 2.7 acres with multiple domes and towers. It is being built in the classic Nagara style of Hindu temple architecture according to the designs and specifications outlined in ancient Hindu texts.

Some of the key features of the Ram Mandir include:

A high central shikhar or spire over the sanctum sanctorum which will soar to a height of 161 feet (49 meters).

Five smaller shikharas surrounding the central spire, each 91 feet (28 meters) high.

A massive sculpted ram statue in front of the main entrance.

An elaborate carved facade and walls depicting scenes from the Ramayana.

Multiple smaller temples and shrines dedicated to other Hindu deities within the complex.

The Ram Mandir complex is designed to accommodate up to 100,000 visitors per day during peak festival seasons. It will have designated areas for rituals, a museum depicting the history of Ayodhya, a digital theater, a 'Valmiki Bhavan' library, and accommodation for pilgrims.

The construction work on the Ram Mandir is being overseen by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust appointed by the Indian government. The overall cost is estimated around 1,100 crore Indian rupees (over $130 million). The target is for the first phase to be completed by January 2024 so that devotees can start having darshan (sacred viewing) of the deity idols installed inside.

With the Ayodhya Ram Mandir inching closer to reality, it represents the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream for the Hindu faithful across India and around the world.

its not like muslims were left to dry they were give a additional land to build and we built a temple on a land holy to us not them , us hindus

a person of india said why shouldnt we build a temple in india on a part of land which is prayed and believed for centuries with historical evidence as well as archeological evidence that our god is born there , its not liek we tried build it in a sacred pilgrimage , which is relegiously and historically significant , so why shouldnt there be one,

anyone should not be just reading your blog and making a opinion , go actually read the judgement okay ? and see what all other horrendous thinsg happening where relgious places are destroyed. i mean there is mecca and Jerusalem and other places nothing is happening there they have places to relegiously pray . and it is not about any torture happening to muslims or one side winning and another losing you are making it that way , there is no win or loss here, both sides were given a result as best as there could be.

and you were talking about taxpayers well here is a little fact for you "According to the Economic Times, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust which was formed by the center in February 2020 to handle the construction and maintenance of the Ram Mandir has received ₹3,500 crore in donations" yeah what did it say DONATION

another thing what babur did was come to our house , keep his things in our house and kick us out claiming it to be thiers and that is not what should happen to ayodhya where our god was born. so yes i was very happy yesterday not because of pettiness or hatred but because i was able to witness a temple so long overdue as a place to give our prayers in, built on a holy ground.

dont make it a point of hatred no matter what it is a holy place and sacred temple a place o worship of many people. dont make it a target of hatred and politics, i am a bjp supporter and i dont mind you hate them i understand that and prob will agree with you too on some points, but it is a happy occasion for people who got a palce to worship thier lord , dont make it something ugly, as it was teh best decision possible to be reached by both sides, muslims were given a right to build a palce of worship of 5 acres of land , let hindus have a temple at a ground that is sacred and holy to us should we not

India does not belong to Hindus. If you believe that, I have nothing else to say. Go spread your us VS them beliefs somewhere else.

And do not give me a free class on history about the Mughal empire. I have read my history. I do not need to know the one entrenched with your hatred.

And maybe take a quick look at this. At what this colossal failure means for the future of this nation.

Champat Rai further elaborated that the 4'3" idol depicting the 5-year-old Lord Ram will find its place on the ground floor of the temple in the 'Garbhagriha.' The ground floor, almost ready, ensures a seamless execution of the 'Pran-Pratishtha' ceremony. With the idol's finishing work set to conclude within a week, the stage is being set for the auspicious event.

Notably, the 'Pran-Pratishtha' ceremony will witness the attendance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, underscoring the national significance of this spiritual occasion. The ceremony, scheduled for January 22, follows a week of Vedic rituals for the consecration of Ram Lalla, commencing on January 16.

  Lakshmi Kant Dixit, a Vedic priest from Varanasi, has been entrusted with the pivotal role of performing the main ritual during Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony. The idol, a symbol of divinity, will be the focal point of devotion for thousands of devotees expected to participate in the Amrit Mahautsav celebrations from January 14 to January 22.

  As part of the festivities, a grand 1008 Hundi Mahayagya will be organized, providing sustenance to thousands of devotees.

Local authorities are working diligently to implement enhanced safety measures and logistical arrangements to ensure a seamless and spiritually enriching experience for all attendees during the grand 'Pran Pratistha' ceremony.

In conclusion, the countdown to the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya has begun, promising a momentous event that blends spirituality, tradition, and national pride.

The Confluence of Faith and Politics: An Insight into the Diverse Invitees of the Ram Mandir Inauguration Ceremony

In what is anticipated to be a historic and culturally significant event, the ‘Pran Pratishta’ ceremony of Lord Ram’s idol in Ayodhya has garnered attention not only for its religious importance but also for its diverse and eclectic guest list. Scheduled for January 22, the ceremony marks the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, and the invitees represent a unique blend of faith, politics, and global representation.

Over 7,000 individuals have received invitations, ranging from political figures and international guests to ordinary people who have made extraordinary contributions to the Mandir Movement. The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has meticulously curated this list, ensuring inclusivity and diversity.

The international guest list for the event underscores its global significance, with over 100 guests from 53 countries, including the US, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Africa. Among the distinguished invitees are oncologist Bharat Barai and Nokia Bell Labs-CTO fellow Abhay Asthana. Bharat Barai, known for his support of the BJP and efforts to strengthen India-Israel relations, notably lobbied for Narendra Modi’s visa clearance in 2014, overcoming a 10-year visa ban.

The ceremony also exemplifies inclusivity by extending an invitation to Iqbal Ansari, who fought a legal case in support of the Babri Masjid. Despite his past association with the mosque, Ansari has actively supported the construction of the Ram Mandir, symbolizing a collective move towards unity.

Another remarkable inclusion is Mohammed Habib, a Muslim karsevak who participated in the Ram Mandir agitation. His emotional response to the invitation reflects the historic nature of the consecration ceremony and the sense of unity it embodies.

The entertainment industry is well-represented by actors Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia, known for their iconic portrayal of Ram and Sita in the TV serial ‘Ramayan.’ Their presence adds a nostalgic touch, evoking memories of the widely watched show in the late 1980s.

Spiritual leaders, including Dalai Lama, Mata Amritanandamayi, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, and Jaggi Vasudev, will grace the occasion with their presence. Business tycoons like Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and Ratan Tata, along with figures from Bollywood and cricket, further diversify the guest list.

However, the event has not been without its share of political complexities. The opposition, particularly the CPM and the Trinamool Congress, faces a dilemma over participation, with concerns about the politicization of religious belief. Even the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has chosen to stay away, labeling it a BJP political rally.

The Congress, a key constituent of the INDIA bloc, grapples with a challenging decision regarding its participation, wary of potential electoral repercussions. Invitations extended to senior Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, have added a political dimension to the event.

The meticulously designed invitations, comprising the main invitation card, a ‘Pran Pratishtha’ program card, and a booklet detailing the Ram Janmabhoomi Movement, reflect the elaborate nature of the ceremony. The schedule outlines the commencement of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ puja at 11:30 am on January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing the guests at 12:30 pm.

As the nation awaits this historic event with bated breath, the diverse guest list stands as a testament to the inclusivity and cultural richness surrounding the consecration of the Ram Mandir. The ceremony is poised to be a confluence of religious fervor, political significance, and global representation, embodying the essence of a unified India.

Shaligram rocks get grand welcome in Ayodhya

These Shaligram rocks — which are said to be 60 million-year-old — were brought to Ayodhya from Nepal on two different trucks.

Two huge Shaligram rocks brought from the Kali Gandaki river of Nepal were dedicated for the making of the idol of Ramlala and Janki here after a religious ceremony on Thursday.

These two huge rocks were delivered from Nepal to Ramsevakpuram on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, these were formally presented by Ram Tapeshwar Das, Mahant of Janaki Temple of Janaki Temple, capital of ancient Mithila, Nepal, and Vimalendra Nidhi, former Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal, through a letter of dedication to Champat Rai, General Secretary of Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust.

Before this, 51 Vedic Acharyas worshiped the rock according to religious customs. The stone dedication ceremony was also presented in the form of a short meeting and the speakers described this occasion as providing a new attitude and style to the ancient relations between Nepal and Ayodhya.

Former Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal Nidhi said that earlier he wanted to present a bow to Ramlala in line with the legacy of Shri Ram’s association with Janakpur but after two years of dialogue with the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, it was decided that the holy rock from Nepal’s Gandaki river should be offered for the making of idol of Ramlala.

Champat Rai expressed his gratitude to the Janakpur temple, the Government of Nepal and the people there for dedicating the stone. A large number of saints and Ayodhya residents gathered to welcome the Shilas.

These Shaligram rocks — which are said to be 60 million-year-old — were brought to Ayodhya from Nepal on two different trucks. While one rock reportedly weighs 26 tonnes, and the other weighs 14 tonnes. The two rocks were found in the Gandaki river at a place close to Saligrama or Muktinath, place of salvation, in Nepal’s Mustang district.
