Ram Janambhoomi Temple At Ayodhya: Three Designs In Contest To Decide Ram Lalla’s Idol; Voting Today

Ayodhya: The lucky out of three idols of Lord Ram Lalla crafted by separate sculptors will be voted to be installed at the grand Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya will take place today. The decision will mark a crucial step in the construction and consecration of the temple, scheduled for January 22.

The voting will be conducted during a meeting of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust entrusted with overseeing the temple’s construction and management.

A 51-inch-tall idol of Lord Ram, depicting a five-year-old Ram Lalla, will be chosen from the three designs, Champat Rai, the trust secretary, said on Wednesday. “The one that has the best divineness and has a childlike look about it will be selected,” he was quoted as saying.

The consecration ceremony, spanning seven days, will commence on January 16 with an atonement ceremony conducted by the host appointed by the temple trust. Notable events during the ceremony include the procession carrying the child-like idol of Lord Ram, ritualistic baths, worship, and fire rituals.

On January 22, following a morning puja, the afternoon ceremony will see the idol find its permanent home under the auspicious ‘Mrigashira Nakshatra’.
