Ram Lalla’s throne ready, key moment to be short but impactful
Three feet high, the marble throne will be gold- plated before the ceremony and this work is likely to be completed by the month-end.
The throne for Ram Lalla is ready at the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the idol will be installed there on January 22 during the pran pratishtha (consecration) ceremony.
Three feet high, the marble throne will be gold- plated before the ceremony and this work is likely to be completed by the month-end.
The “mool muhurta” (main moment) of the consecration ceremony will be 1 minute 24 seconds long from 12:29:08 pm to 12:30:32 pm and this has been decided by pandits of Varanasi.
“The “mool muhurta will start from 12:29:08 pm, which will last till 12:30:32 pm. That means the total time will be only 1 minute 24 seconds,” said Pandit Ganeshwar Shastri Dravid and Pandit Vishweshwar Shastri.
