Ayodhya is bustling with preparations for the impending 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of the Ram Mandir, scheduled for January 22. The Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust recently shared images showcasing the completion of the golden door of the sanctum sanctorum, a pivotal element for the temple's inauguration.

This milestone follows the installation of the first gate on January 9, signifying significant progress in the construction of the grand temple. The entire city is undergoing a facelift to enhance its aesthetic appeal in anticipation of the ceremony. Recent additions include the placement of idols depicting a lion, an elephant, Lord Hanuman, and Garun Dev at the entrance of the Ram Temple.

The 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony involves intricate Vedic rituals, set to commence on January 16, with the culmination being the enthronement of Ram Lalla on January 22. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to preside over the ceremonial installation inside the sanctum sanctorum. Notably, PM Modi announced a special 11-day 'anushthan' leading up to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya.
