Ayodhya Ram Mandir : History made in just 84 seconds

Following the completion of the Ram Lalla ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ritual in Ayodhya on Monday, a sizable crowd of devotees flocked to the Ram Temple on Tuesday to offer prayers. The public can now enter the temple as of right now. Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the main rituals at the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya Ram Mandir , which was conducted amidst wild celebrations officiated by a small group of priests. In honor of Lord Ram’s accession to this throne, festivities were also arranged around the nation. In the meantime, ‘Ram Nagri’ Ayodhya attracted attention from all over the world with crackers going up and illuminating the night sky in various sections of the city and large amounts of earthen lamps, or diyas, lit up.

Images also displayed joyous festivities taking place at the well-known Saryu Ghat, where happy residents were demonstrating their love for Ram Lalla. Our Ram Lalla will no longer be living in a tent as of today. He will live in an opulent temple,” Modi said, highlighting the conclusion of centuries of waiting and sacrifice on the part of all people. The Prime Minister spoke of having a strong spiritual connection that he experienced during the temple’s sanctum sanctorum sacrament.

The historical and cultural significance of Modi’s address was underscored by his statement that Lord Ram, a pivotal character in Indian mythology and spirituality, is now housed in a location worthy of his reverence. Although he expressed trust in Lord Ram’s forgiveness, he admitted a sense of communal failings in the past for not having accomplished this sooner.

Modi emphasized that the original version of India’s Constitution has an indelible image of Lord Ram, a reference to the country’s legal and constitutional foundation. He conveyed his appreciation to the judiciary for ending the protracted legal dispute over Lord Ram’s existence and enabling the temple to be built in a legal manner.

Declaring January 22 to be the start of a new era, as PM Modi did, captures the deep cultural and spiritual awakening that millions of people associate with this day. Beyond its religious significance, the Ram Temple is regarded as a representation of India’s rich cultural legacy and the victory of tenacity and faith.

This historic occasion, which was attended by a wide range of well-known people from different industries, represents a moment of national unification that cuts beyond socioeconomic, political, and religious differences. It honors India’s rich cultural heritage, age-old customs, and the enduring influence of its spiritual icons. As the nation enters this new century, the Ram Temple serves as a reminder of India’s history, principles, and ongoing development.

Ram Mandir History

Originally constructed in the sixteenth century CE, the site was home to the Babri Masjid. Before it was besieged and destroyed in 1992, the mosque housed the idols of Rama and Sita in 1949. The disputed site will be granted to Hindus for the construction of a temple, while Muslims will be allocated land nearby for the construction of a mosque, according to a 2019 Supreme Court of India ruling. The court cited an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) report as proof that a non-Islamic structure may have existed beneath the now-demolished Babri Masjid.

In August 2020, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted the Bhumi Pujan, or groundbreaking ceremony, to officially start building the Ram Mandir. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is in charge of overseeing the temple’s construction. As the Mukhya Yajman (chief sponsor) of the ceremonies, Modi conducted the Prana Pratishtha (consecration) of Ram Lalla on January 22, 2024. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra was the one who arranged the Prana Pratishtha event.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s politicization of the temple, the alleged misuse of donations, and the exclusion of some of its most prominent campaigners have all contributed to the temple’s controversy.
