PM Narendra Modi will be there on January 22, 2024 when the idol of Ram Lalla is erected at the Ayodhya shrine. Decades of work to reclaim the site, including widespread mobilization and a court battle, have culminated in this. Following the PM’s invitation to the big celebration by a delegation of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust, the confirmation was made. Attendance at the event is anticipated to be high. UP CM Yogi Adityanath and RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat will also be in attendance.
PM Modi was delighted after the official invitation
While it was initially thought that January 22 would be one of the likely dates for installing the idol of Ram Lalla, or Lord Ram in child form, this was confirmed when a delegation from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust called the Prime Minister to extend an invitation to him for what is expected to be a grand ceremony in which many people may travel to Ayodhya to take part.
The Prime Minister wished his supporters a happy “Jai Siya Ram” and shared a picture of himself on X with Ayodhya Trust employees. He disclosed that the day was filled with emotions since he was being met at his home by representatives of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust. Further, he revealed that he has been asked by the Trust to visit Ayodhya on the occasion of the Shri Ram temple’s consecration. He remarked that it is his good fortune to be present for this historic occasion.
While the temple timings are not known yet, they are liking to be the same as the current timings.
The Larsen & Toubro group is responsible for building this monumental temple, with an estimated cost of Rs 18,000 crore and the architectural design is deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, with special bricks bearing the inscription “Jai Shree Ram” being used in the temple’s construction.
The timings of the temporary temple where lord Rama has been kept until the completion of the main temple are from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and for festivals, it is from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm. To attend the Aarti ceremony, one must get a pass made by the Teerth Kshetra Trust.
It is a saying in Ayodhya that anybody who wants to pay a visit to Lord Rama must first pay respects to Lord Hanuman by going to Hanumangarhi and the time of the temple is from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Kanak Bhavan
The Bhavan where Lord Rama is seated with Goddess Sita and the Bhavan entails a famous story about Queen Kekai giving the Bhavan to Goddess Sita in the ceremony of showing her face. The darshan timings are from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm daily.
Dashrath Mahal

Who are the other top guests?
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath will be among those present on the historic occasion, according to Champat Rai, general secretary of the trust, who visited the PM with Nripendra Misra, former principal secretary to the PM and head of the temple construction committee.
For the consecration ceremony, the trust intends to invite more than 4,000 Hindu religious leaders representing 136 Sanatana traditions. Furthermore, 25,000 dignitaries are scheduled to attend the function.
The temple design and architecture
The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh occupies 2.77 acres and is separated into five sections: the gun mandap, rang mandap, nritya mandap, kirtan mandap, and prarthna mandap. The main sanctum sanctorum is known as the garbh greh. The temple will stand 161 feet tall and have three floors that are each 19.5 feet wide and is being built at a cost of Rs,18,000 crore.
Temples dedicated to Shiva, the goddesses Annapurna and Bhagwati, Ganesha, Hanuman, and Surya (the sun) will all be located within the complex housing the Ram temple. Along with other amenities like yagya/anusthan mandap, a rest house for religious leaders, an administrative building, etc., temples dedicated to mythological saints like Valmiki, Vashisth, Viswamitra, Jatayu, and Sabri are also planned.
The committee responsible for the construction of the temple has also acquired 71 acres of property to establish public services in the vicinity. With the aim of zero discharge, two sewerage treatment plants are planned, and treated water will be used for flushing and irrigation in order to lessen the burden on the Municipal Corporation.
Do not visit during the first few days of inauguration!
To avoid crowding in Ayodhya during the first few days of the inauguration, the temple trust has encouraged the country not to visit the temple. Furthermore, they have asked that the VIPs refrain from visiting Ayodhya on the day of the inauguration, citing concerns about inadequate administration.
