Ram Mandir: The ritual of consecration of Ram Lalla has been formally started with the chanting of Vedic mantras in Ayodhya, the city of Lord Shri Ram. Ramlala’s consecration will take place on January 22. But today itself Ramlala will enter his newly built Ram temple.
Today the idol of Ram Lalla will be taken on a tour of the Ram Janmabhoomi complex and tomorrow i.e., on January 18, Ram Lalla will enter the sanctum sanctorum. A new idol has been built in the Ram temple for the consecration of Ramlala, which shows the form of a 5-year-old child.
Now the question arises that when the new idol of Ramlal will be placed in the sanctum sanctorum, then what will happen to the idol of Ramlal which remained in the tent for years.
