The Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya was celebrated in all pomp and show as Indians from all walks of life gathered at the holy venue for the ceremony.
A Pran Pratishtha is a rite by which a temple consecrates a murti. Hymns and mantras are recited to welcome the deity as the temple resident. The event also marks the first time the murti’s eye is opened for the first time.
Former and active cricketers including the likes of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble were seen at the event.
