Ayodhya Ram Mandir: Tremendous enthusiasm is being seen among the devotees of Ram across the country and the world regarding the consecration of the idol of Ram Lala in the Ram temple of Ayodhya. Now only 19 days are left for the consecration, but the temple management is yet to complete the consecration of the idol. Could not select. Earlier on Monday, discussion regarding the selection of the statue started after the statements of BJP leader, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
Actually, BJP leader Yediyurappa had congratulated Karnataka sculptor Arun Yogiraj by posting on social media platform X (earlier Twitter). He had said that the statue made by him has been selected for consecration in the new temple of Ayodhya. After this, this news spread across the country from social media to mainstream media. But now the situation regarding this has been clarified from the side of the temple trust.
The Trust’s decision on idol selection will be made public at the appropriate time.
However, the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which is constructing the temple, has not announced its decision. At the same time, now Ram Mandir Trust has said that no decision has been taken on this yet. The temple trust has clarified that the idol was selected among three sculptors, but the final selection is still awaited.
Trust officials said the decision regarding the idol would be taken in consultation with Shankaracharya Vijayendra Saraswati and other saints. Trust office in-charge Prakash Gupta said – Whatever decision the Trust takes, it will be made public at the appropriate time. The selected idol will be installed in the sanctum sanctorum. According to trust officials, a technical report on aspects like longevity of the idol will also be taken into consideration while selecting the idol for the sanctum sanctorum. After the selection of the statue, it will be consecrated in a ceremony on January 22 in the presence of PM Narendra Modi.
The old statue will be kept in the premises for celebrations
It is noteworthy that since 1949, devotees have been offering prayers in the temporary temple containing the idol of Ramlala. This temple was also transferred for temple construction, which started after the historic decision of the Supreme Court in 2019. The apex court had settled the temple-mosque dispute in Ayodhya. Now Ram Mandir Trust officials say that the old “chal” idol will be kept in the premises for festive occasions.
