Meanwhile, the seven-day long ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony which began on Tuesday is underway in Ayodhya. Shri Anil Mishra atoned all essential belongings and took a bath in the Saryu river on the first day of the Vedic rituals. He also worshipped Lord Vishnu and performed ‘Panchgavyaprashan’ at the Ram temple with ‘Panchgavya’ (milk, urine, dung, ghee, and curd).

On Thursday - the third day of the Vedic rituals - the temple authorities installed the idol of Ram Lalla in the ‘Garbh Grah’ (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple, a day after the idol toured the temple premises.
