To Mark Ram Temple Consecration…

On Tuesday evening, the Chhattisgarh government decided to have a 'dry day' on January 22 on the occasion of the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, CM Vishnu Deo Sai said.

While talking to the media, CM Sai stated that it is a fortune for Chhattisgarh to be the home of the maternal grandparents of Lord Ram. Chandkhuri is considered their home.

"It is our fortune that Chhattisgarh is the maternal birthplace of Lord Ram, and it is our fortune that the consecration of the Ram temple is going to take place in Ayodhya on January 22.

There will be an atmosphere of enthusiasm across the state.

Lamps will be lit in homes, and the Chhattisgarh government has decided to declare January 22 a dry day in the state," the CM said.

PM Narendra Modi will attend the Pran-Pratishtha (consecration) of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22.

Vedic rituals for the ceremony in the temple town will begin on January 16, a week before the event.

A priest from Varanasi, Lakshmi Kant Dixit, will perform the main rituals of the consecration ceremony.

A 1008 Hundi Mahayagya will also be organized, in which thousands of devotees will be fed.

Several tent cities are being set up in Ayodhya to accommodate thousands of devotees who are expected to arrive in the temple for the grand consecration.

According to the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Trust, arrangements will be made for 10,000-15,000 people.
