Chief Minister of Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Arvind Kejriwal, will visit the recently opened Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Monday along with Bhagwant Mann, the chief minister of Punjab. The families of both leaders will travel with them to Ayodhya. Kejriwal stated earlier in January that he would prefer to go to the temple later in the evening with his spouse, kids, and parents.
“I want to visit Ayodhya with my family. My parents are very keen to visit the Ram Temple, so we’ll go someday after January 22,” he added.
The Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Lord Ram in the newly built Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya was held on January 22, led by rituals that were performed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and Lok Sabha floor leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury decline dthe invitation to attend Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Temple.
“Religion is a personal matter. But the RSS/BJP have long made a political project of the temple in Ayodhya. The inauguration of the incomplete temple by the leaders of the BJP and the RSS has been obviously brought forward for electoral gain,” the party said in a statement.
Commencing on January 16, 2024, there was a seven-day ceremonial journey that led up to the Pran Pratishtha. Representatives from the nation’s major spiritual and religious sects were present at the ceremony. Attendees at the ceremony will come from all walks of life, including representatives of several tribal communities. The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir was built in the customary Nagara manner. It is supported by 392 pillars and 44 doors, and measures 380 feet long (east-west), 250 feet wide, and 161 feet high.
The pillars and walls of the temple showcase intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities, Gods, and Goddesses. In the main sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor, the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram (the idol of Shri Ramlalla) has been placed.
