The Ram Temple Trust will organise a series of cultural and rel🐠igious events in Ayodhya to ce🍬lebrate the first anniversary of the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol at the temple.
Scheduled from January 11 to 13, the celebrations aim to includ🎉e common people who were u💎nable to attend the historic ceremony last year, alongside around 110 invited VIPs, according to the temple trust.
While announcing this decision, the temple trust said that there is a tradition in Hinduism to celebrate all festivals according to Hindu dates. According to the Hindu calendar, the consecration ceremony took place on Paush Shukl🧜a Paksh Dwadshi, also known as Kurma Dwadashi (12th day in the full moon cycle of Paush month).
In 2025, the Hindu calendar date falls on January 11, so it has bee🅺n decided to follow th🧸e Hindu calendar and celebrate the pran-pratishtha ceremony on January 11 in 2025.
“After consultation with saints, it was resolved that, in keeping with the tradition of observing Hindu festivals and celebrations according to the♐ Hindu calendar (Panchang), the anniversary of the Pran Pratishtha of Prabhu Shri Ramlalla Sarkar will be celebrated annually on Paush Shukla Dwadashi, also known as Kurma Dwadashi, as per the Panchang. This date will be referred to as Pratishtha Dwadashi. In 2025, it will fall on 11 January," the 🃏trust said in a post on X.
Ayodhya Ram temple was inaugurated on January 2🐠2, 2024, in a grand ceremo🍷ny attended by devotees and dignitaries. This marked the culmination of decades of legal and political battles over the site.
One-year anniversary celebrations will take place fr🥀oꩵm January 11 to 13, 2025, featuring various rituals, prayers, and cultural events, allowing devotees and saints to participate in honouring Lord Ram.
Ram temple in Ayodhya, originally set to be completed by June 2025, is now expected to be finished by September 2025 due to construction delays🐻, PTI reported. Nripendra Misra, the chairman of the construction committee, explained that a shortage of around 200 workers has contributed 𝕴to the delay.
Committee plans to replace certain stones on the first fl🔯oor, as some are "weak and thin.༺" This replacement is intended to ensure the temple’s long-term durability.
