New Delhi: The Ram temple in Ayodhya will be inaugurated on January 22, 2024.
Confirming the date, Shri Ram Janm Bhoomi Trust general secretary Champat Rai said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted their invitation for January 22, when the idol of Lord Ram will be installed at the newly-constructed temple.
“I feel very blessed. It is my good fortune that in my lifetime, I will witness this historic occasion,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
“Today is a day full of emotions. Recently the officials of Shri Ram Janm Bhoomi Tirtha Kshetra had come to meet me at my residence. They invited me to come to Ayodhya on the occasion of consecration of Shri Ram temple. I feel very blessed. It is my good fortune that in my lifetime, I will witness this historic occasion,” PM Modi wrote in a post on X in Hindi, along with a photo of the temple trust’s functionaries.
Over 25,000 Hindu religious leaders from 136 Sanatana traditions will be invited for the consecration ceremony. There will also be 10,000 special guests at the historic occasion.
PM Modi had laid the foundation stone for the temple on August 5, 2020, nine months after a Supreme Court verdict paved the way for construction of Ram temple.
Work on the temple has been progressing at a steady pace under the supervision of Shri Ram Janm Bhoomi Trust.
