The 51-inch idol of Lord Ram, carved by famed sculptor Arun Yogiraj, was placed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in Ayodhya after 12:30 pm on Thursday. At 1:20 pm, the host gave the main resolution and the idol was cleansed with water as part of the 'Jaladhivas' ritual and 'Ganesh Pujan' and 'Varun Pujan' was held on Thursday.
Covered with a veil, the idol portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus also crafted from the same stone.
Meanwhile, the preparations are in full swing in Ayodhya for the mega pran-prathistha ceremony of Lord Ram Lalla in the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Temple on January 22.
