Giving a big statement, UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has said that today is a proud day for every devotee of Lord Ram and people associated with Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement. He said that if PM Modi did not become Prime Minister, then we would still have been fighting to build a temple on Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. The city of Ayodhya is amid high security as the second phase of Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple began on Tuesday, June 3. The three -day program will end on June 5, the day Ganga is Dussehra.
At 6.30 am on Tuesday, 101 priests from across the country started the Pran Pratishtha ritual in eight temples of the Ram temple complex. This includes various spiritual offerings like Vedic Puja, chanting 1,975 mantras, and Ram Raksha Stotra, Hanuman Chalisa and Yajna (Agni Ritual). The same rituals will be performed on 4 June. Mahant Govind Dev Giri, who witnessed the management of the finance of the temple trust, said that the Pran Pratishtha ceremony is a symbol of life prestige in the idols, which is an important step towards completing the Ram temple project.
The main life reputation ceremony will be held on June 5, when the idols of Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman will be presented on the first floor of the main temple.
