In a bid to ensure that the grand consecration ceremony of Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is accessible to the masses, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced ambitious plans to telecast the event live on the booth level across the country. The ceremony, scheduled for January 22, 2024, is expected to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and numerous VVIP guests.
Party sources revealed that BJP workers have been directed to set up large screens at the booth level, allowing common people to witness the consecration of Shri Ram Lala. This initiative is aimed at providing a unique opportunity for the general public to have darshan of Shri Ram Lala and actively participate in the historic event.
The BJP’s engagement goes beyond the telecast, as party workers are encouraged to partake in social work on a personal level. Activities such as distributing blankets, organizing community feasts (‘bhandar’), and contributing through donations of food or fruits are actively promoted. This move reflects the party’s commitment to community welfare and inclusivity during this auspicious occasion.
The Prime Minister is expected to grace the consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple, adding a significant dimension to an event already capturing widespread attention. Invitations have been extended to several VVIP guests from India and abroad, further elevating the stature of the ceremony.
The Vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony are set to commence on January 16, a week before the main ceremony. Lakshmi Kant Dixit, a priest from Varanasi, will perform the main rituals on January 22. The week leading up to the ceremony will be marked as Amrit Mahotsav in Ayodhya.
As preparations intensify, a 1008 Hundi Mahayagya is set to be organized, ensuring that thousands of devotees are fed. Tent cities are being erected in Ayodhya to accommodate the anticipated influx of devotees, with arrangements being made for 10,000-15,000 people, according to the Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust.
The BJP’s proactive approach to make the event widely accessible underscores the significance of the Shri Ram Mandir consecration ceremony as a momentous occasion that resonates with people across the nation.
