Ayodhya Ram Mandir: The Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya is set to witness another consecration this month after over a year of Ram Lalla's "pran pratishtha," The Indian Express reported.

The latest consecration will be the installation of Ram Dabar (toral court), the deity in King form with Goddess Sita, Lord Lakshaman, and Hanuman, on the first floor of the temple later this month.

The temple administration and trust are preparing for the ceremony. Those aware of the planning said the event will be held on a lower scale as compared to the one held on January 22 last year. The Ram Lala consecration in 2024 was attended by over 8,000 people and presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The upcoming consecration will also mark the completion of the temple construction, which started in 2020, following the Supreme Court verdict.

The construction committee is currently headed by Nripendra Misra, the former Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister.

Recently, Mishra said that the construction of the complex will be completed by the end of this month. However, the remaining work on the compound wall known as "parkota" will be completed before the end of this year.

While speaking to the media, Mishra had said, "About 20,000 cubic feet of stone is yet to be laid in the temple. The construction of the temple will be completed by around April 15."

"All the statues in the temples that are outside or inside the rampart will be here by April 30, and almost all of them will be installed between March 25 and April 15," he added.

The Ram Darbar idols have been sculpted by a team of 20, headed by sculptor Prashant Pandey in Jaipur. It is crafted with white Makrana marble. Notably, Ram Lalla's 51-inch-tall idol was sculpted by Karnataka-based Arun Yogiraj.

Moreover, Ramcharitmanas author Saint Tulsidas's huge statue, is also being installed in the complex.
