आज का दिन बहुत भावनाओं से भरा हुआ है। अभी श्रीराम जन्मभूमि तीर्थ क्षेत्र ट्रस्ट के पदाधिकारी मुझसे मेरे निवास स्थान पर मिलने आए थे। उन्होंने मुझे श्रीराम मंदिर में प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा के अवसर पर अयोध्या आने के लिए निमंत्रित किया है।

On January 22, 2024, the statue of Lord Rama will be installed in the Ram Temple. The ‘Pran-Pratishtha’ program will take place after the establishment of Lord Shri Ram’s idol. Shri Ram Janambhoomi Trust General Secretary, Champat Rai, confirmed that the idol of Lord Ram will be installed at the temple on January 22, and PM Modi has accepted their invitation.
After hanging fire for years, the issue of the Ram Mandir construction was resolved through a historic verdict of the Supreme Court. The apex court in 2019 allotted the contentious land for the construction of Ram Temple, following which the ‘Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi Tirtha Kshetra' Trust was formed to oversee the exercise.
