Ram Mandir Inauguration: SC bench, including CJI, that delivered Ayodhya verdict invited for consecration ceremony

The five judges, including the Chief Justice of India (CJI), who were part of the bench which paved way for construction of Ram Mandir, have been invited to witness consecration ceremony at Ayodhya on January 22, reported PTI.

The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's temple will take place on January 22.

"The basic method of 'netronmelan' is that by applying honey to a gold bar, the eyes become anointed, which looks like 'kajal' to the people," Acharya Giri said while speaking to ANI.


"Ram Lalla has been enshrined in his grand temple. Today, the holy fire will be established for worship. However, the resolution for the Pran Pratishta was taken on Thursday itself. The resolution has been taken with the Vedic thoughts by sitting with the block Vedic scholars. Today, the fire will appear," he added.

Meanwhile, ahead of the 'Pran Prathistha' on January 22, the city wore a festive look and was decked up with vibrant petals as it awaits the return of Lord Ram after an exile spanning 500 years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will perform rituals to mark the 'Pran Pratishtha' while a team of priests, led by Lakshmikant Dixit, will lead the main rituals.

Several celebrities and other top dignitaries have been invited to the ceremony.
