Amidst the construction of Ram temple, preparations are also going on for the consecration ceremony of Ramlala. Continuous meetings are going on regarding this. A meeting of the Pranpratistha Management Committee was also held on Monday. It has been decided in the meeting that the consecration ceremony will start with taking the seated Ram Lalla on a tour of the city i.e. Panchkosi Parikrama. The ritual of consecration of Ramlala will take place between January 16 and January 24.
Many issues including the format of the ceremony were discussed in the meeting of the Pran Pratishtha Management Committee. The thought came that before consecration, Saryu should be worshiped and Ramlala should be anointed with its water. Then they will be taken on a city tour in a chariot. Ramlala will be taken out on a grand chariot in a grand manner in the periphery of Panchkosi. After this, the idol of Ramlala will be kept in water, fruits and food for one day each. Which in the language of rituals is called Jaladhivas, Faladhivas and Annadhivas.
Shri Ram Yantra will be installed for the 9 day celebrations. After the conclusion of the program it will be immersed in the Saryu river. 9 ponds will be made for havan in the ceremony. The entire program will be under the supervision of scholars from Kashi. A team of 108 Vedic Acharyas will perform this entire ritual. All the rituals have been ensured to be done under the direction of Kashi's famous scholar Ganeshwar Dwivedi and Acharya Laxmikant. Bhoomipujan of Ram temple was also done under the supervision of Ganeshwar Dwivedi.
Only priests will be able to enter the sanctum sanctorum
In the meeting of Pran Pratistha Management Committee, the worship method of Ramlala and the Pran Pratistha method were also discussed. After Ramlala sits in the new temple, there are preparations to implement many new rules. Proper rules and regulations are being prepared for the priests. It was told that no one will be allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum of the new temple for the priest.
Currently, VIPs and saints are allowed entry into the sanctum sanctorum in the temporary temple, but this will be prohibited in the new temple. Only the one who worships and serves Ramlala will be able to enter the sanctum sanctorum. Apart from this, no one will be allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum. They will be allowed darshan from outside the sanctum sanctorum only.
Apart from this, the number of priests will be increased in the new temple. At present, one chief priest and 4 assistant priests are deployed for the worship of Ramlala. Now their numbers can also be changed. There is a plan to appoint trained priests for the worship of Ramlala. Along with this, priests are also to be appointed for other temples to be built in the Ramjanmabhoomi complex.
