Ayodhya: The sixth day of the consecration ceremony of the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya unfolded on a serene Sunday morning, commencing at nine o'clock. The sacred ritual involved bathing the idol of Lord Rama with sanctified water drawn from 114 Kalash (vases), which held a blend of medicated water and holy water collected from revered pilgrimage sites across the nation.
The ceremonial proceedings comprised daily worship, havan (ritualistic fire offering), and continuous chanting, extending into the late hours of the evening. The sanctified idol of Lord Ram Lalla found its place in the Madhyadhivas, with Jagran (night vigil) held on the same day. Within the ritual hall, the ancient idol of Lord Rama received devout worship. The pujas, adorned with various flowers sourced from diverse locations, including Chennai and Pune, added a colorful and aromatic dimension to the worship rituals.
Notable dignitaries took part in the Sunday worship, with Anil Mishra and his family, along with Dr R. N. Singh, the President of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), participating on behalf of the sacred pilgrimage site at Lord Rama's birthplace.
The consecration ceremony, which commenced on January 16 from the Sarayu River, reached a significant milestone with the arrival of the idol of Lord Rama in the temple complex on January 17. The culmination of this sacred event is set for Monday afternoon, timed during the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat, as the Pran Pratishtha, symbolizing the infusion of divine life, reaches its completion. The meticulous and heartfelt rituals permeated with spirituality, have woven together the essence of devotion and tradition, creating a tapestry of sacred moments in the journey towards the consecration of the Shri Ram Temple.
