Ayodhya witnessed grand celebrations on the occasion of Ram Navami, with devotion reaching its peak during the much-awaited Surya Tilak ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. At exactly 12 noon, a precisely aligned beam of sunlight illuminated the forehead of the idol of Ram Lalla, creating a radiant ray inside the sanctum. This unique ritual, achieved through a sophisticated system of mirrors and lenses, beautifully merges ancient tradition with modern science, symbolising divine blessings on the auspicious day marking the birth of Lord Ram.
