In Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, devotees from across the nation are flocking to witness the consecration of Ramlala’s infant statue. After a historical wait of 500 years, Ramlala was enthroned in his grand palace on 22nd January 2024. Since then, millions are arriving daily to behold the spiritual sight. This Ram Navami, devotees are in for a treat as the celestial Sun God himself will perform the 'Surya Tilak' on Lord Rama's forehead.
Indeed, a successful test of the 'Surya Abhishek' has been conducted at the Ram Temple, where sun rays anointed the deity through mirrors. The trial, held at precisely 12:00 noon in the presence of scientists, proved successful, and there's even a video capturing this holy moment that will fill you with emotion.
Witness the divine spectacle here...
Remarkable revelation for 4 minutes
Let it be known that on Ram Navami, April 17th, the visage of Lord Rama will be glorified by the Sun God for approximately four minutes. Sunrays will be manipulated through three distinctive mirrors, creating a magical visual.
Subsequently, these rays will traverse brass pipes chosen for their reduced corrosion, ensuring a pristine journey. Ultimately, lenses will deftly direct these beams straight onto Rama's forehead, culminating in a precise 4-minute ritual.
A live broadcast of this spiritual event
This experimental ceremony was performed on April 10th, though the video has only recently been shared. Following the idol's prana pratishtha in the sanctum sanctorum, this Navratri is of utmost significance. Hence, the Ram Mandir Trust has made elaborate preparations for Ram Navami. Speculations suggest a live telecast will be handled by Prasar Bharati. Over 100 LED screens across Ayodhya will enable devotees to partake in this auspicious event.
40 million devotees expected for Ram Navami
Post the prana pratishtha of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, nearly 15 million souls have so far taken darshan of Ramlala. The daily visitor count hovers between 100,000 to 150,000, including approximately 100,000 international tourists. Ram Navami projections foresee over 40 million pilgrims. The public is encouraged to stagger their visit across different days. The Ram Temple will be open 24 hours on April 16, 17, and 18, in anticipation of the heavy inflow of devotees.
