ayodhya: Ahead of Ram Mandir consecration, Uttar Pradesh pulls out all stops, posts officials, sets up control centres for temple opening
The idol of Lord Ram will be consecrated in Ayodhya on January 22 during the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. The event is organized by the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, with the Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath government also playing a crucial role. Yogi Adityanath has a deep connection with the Ram Janmbhoomi movement, as his predecessors at the Gorakhnath Math were part of it. The temple construction has been a long-standing promise of the ruling BJP, and with the 2024 general elections approaching, the event holds significant political importance.
