Ram Mandir Ayodhya Anniversary: India celebrates one year of ‘Pran Prathistha’
The world is witnessing a two-month grand festival in the form of Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, hosting a large spiritual gathering.
Apart from this grand celebration, India is completing one year of the Ram Mandir today. On January 22, 2024, the idol of Ram Lalla was placed on his rightful seat in the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony. Several devotees and dignitaries attended the inauguration, marking the end of the legal and political battle over the site.
The sacred event was performed on Kurma Dwadashi during the Shukla Paksha of the Hindu calendar’s Paush month.
Ram Mandir anniversary celebrated on Jan 11
However, this year, the anniversary of Ram Mandir was celebrated on January 11 instead of January 22 due to the alignment of the Hindu calendar as the Shukla Paksha fell on January 11.
According to the Hindu almanack, the Pratishtha Mahotsav, or the consecration ceremony, shows the sanctity of the Ram Mandir.
