The Prana pratishtha (consecration) ceremony of the Ram Mandir (ISO: Rāma Maṁdira Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā) was held on 22 January 2024, in a traditional sacred ceremony, wherein priests recited mantras invoking the God Rama.[1] The Prana Pratishtha ceremony, that is considered to bring a presence of divinity, is an essential ritual before the inauguration of a Hindu temple.[2] The ceremony involved the pran pratishtha of the primary temple deity, Ram Lalla (childhood form of Rama), also known as Balak Ram, and subsequent opening of the temple for visitors.[3][4]
The temple stands in the ancient city of Ayodhya, which has also been a disputed site of the 16th-century Babri mosque which was destroyed in 1992.[5][6][7] The event was organized by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.[8]
