Noteworthy is the diverse list of invitees, encompassing senior political leaders, cricketers, sports personalities, and eminent figures from various fields. BJP leader Arjunamurthy extended an invitation to superstar Rajinikanth as well.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, among other dignitaries, will grace the grand inauguration of the Ram Temple.

The guest list has seen notable absences, with politicians like Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray and NCP chief Sharad Pawar not making the cut.

The state government has planned a series of events, including recitations of the Ram Charitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa in temples and 'muths' across Uttar Pradesh.

Tourism Minister Jaiveer Singh emphasized that these events, managed by local artists through the Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Council, will transform the state into a festival-like atmosphere from January 14 until the consecration ceremony.
