The second Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Lord Ram at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is scheduled for June 5, 2025, marking the installation of Raja Ram and other deities within the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex. This event follows the first Pran Pratishtha held in January 2024 and is part of a three-day celebration starting June 3. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who turns 53 on the day of the ceremony, will preside over the rituals, including the ceremonial ‘uncovering of the eyes’ of Lord Ram and Sita’s idols. The Anjaneya Sewa Trust is organizing the event, with elaborate security in place involving CRPF, SSF, and PAC personnel, while routine darshan continues unhindered. For the occasion, 62,000 boxes of prasad are being distributed, featuring special Barfi made from chickpeas and Moongdal. The idols of Ram, Sita, Hanuman, and Lakshman, crafted from white marble, will be placed on a marble throne. The temple showcases traditional Nagara architecture, and the deity’s attire is designed by Manish Tiwari. Only limited devotees will access the temple’s first floor to preserve sanctity.
