The replica rath of Ram Mandir in Mumbai was flagged off by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and director Rohit Shetty.
Devendra Fadnavis stated at the occasion, "The Ram temple will be inaugurated in Ayodhya on January 22." Everyone wishes to go, but it is not possible...A duplicate of the Ram temple has been built here to suit their ambition..."
For the celebration, the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust has invited 4,000 saints from different sects. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the Ram Temple's inauguration in Ayodhya.
Vedic rituals for Ram Lalla's (baby Lord Ram) Pran-Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony in Ayodhya will commence a week before the main event on January 16, next year. Lakshmi Kant Dixit, a Vedic priest from Varanasi, will execute the primary ceremonies at Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony on January 22. The Amrit Mahautsav will be held in Ayodhya from January 14 to January 22. A 1008 Hundi Mahayagya will also be held, feeding thousands of devotees. Several tent towns are being built in Ayodhya to house the thousands of pilgrims who are anticipated to gather in the Uttar Pradesh temple town for the grand consecration of the Ram Temple. The Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust says 10,000-15,000 people will be accommodated.
