“Kar sevaks will also be felicitated during the fortnight-long celebrations,” said Sharma.

“Several committees will be constituted to ensure that Ram Mahotsav is organised on a grand scale this year. In rural pockets, a religious discourse will be organised on the Ram temple movement. People will be made aware of the movement,” he added.

Besides Hindu seers, saints of the Sikh, Jain and Buddhist religions will organise religious discourse and special prayers across the country during Ram Mahotsav.

The plan to hold the Ram Mahotsav comes at a time when the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust is expected to announce the date of Ram temple construction.
