The video opens to show the Ram Lalla statue looking sideways and blinking. The AI clip also captures the idol statue slightly moving his head and smiling.

The 51-inch-tall idol is crafted by a distinguished sculptor, Arun Yogiraj, from Karnataka. The statue portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus.

The idol is adorned with several pieces of jewellery. According to Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the idol “is adorned in Banarasi fabric, featuring a yellow dhoti and a red pataka/angavastram. These angavastrams are embellished with pure gold zari and threads, featuring auspicious Vaishnav symbols”.

Ram Lalla's ornaments include a gold crown or mukut, kudal, padika, and silver-red tilak created with diamonds and rubies, among other things.

The temple trust added, “The creation of these divine ornaments is based on extensive research and study following the descriptions of Shri Ram's scripturally appropriate splendour in texts such as the Adhyatma Ramayana, Valmiki Ramayana, Ramcharitmanas, and Alavandar Stotra."
