The dazzling works of art displayed on the grounds of Saket College, Ayodhya, have been created by artists working under the aegis of the Shri Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas. Choubey is one of the founders of the trust.
“Shri Ram had returned after 14 years of exile and an image of Lord Ram in his 'parakrami roop' (state of courage) had been made in Ayodhya. This is to convey the message to the youth of new India that they should be 'parakrami' (brave),” the minister said.
The Ram temple being built in Ayodhya is also depicted in it.
'The statue of Lord Ram is in the form he had assumed before he killed the demon Tadka. It shows him in a grand way… And now Ram Lalla will take his seat in a grand temple on January 22,” Choubey added.
Consecration of Ram Mandir
Vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha (initiation) ceremony of Ram Lalla (baby Lord Ram) in Ayodhya begin on January 16, a week before the main ceremony.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple on January 22. The event has attracted a lot of attention with several VVIP guests from India and abroad receiving invitations to participate in the auspicious event in Ayodhya.
More than 60,000 people are expected at the dedication ceremony.
