Ayodhya Ram Mandir gets its first ‘swarn dwaar’; 13 more dwaars will be installed in next 3 days

The first golden door has been installed at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The door, which is 12 feet high and eight feet wide, has been installed on the upper floor of the sanctum sanctorum, Mandir officials said.

In the next three days, 13 more golden doors will be installed there, according to the Mandir trust sources.

A total of 46 doors will be installed in the Shri Ram Mandir, out of which 42 will be coated with 100 kg gold.

All these doors are being installed on the upper floor of the sanctum sanctorum.

In the picture that has surfaced, two elephants in the welcome posture can be seen in the middle panel of the golden door. In the upper part, a palace-like shape can be seen in which two servants are standing with folded hands. Meanwhile, beautiful artworks are inscribed in the four squares at the bottom of the door.

Meanwhile, the Mandir trust shared pictures of the sculpture of Jatayu, a significant character in the Ramayana, and glimpses of exquisitely carved figures of deities, gods, and goddesses adorning the pillars and walls of the Mandir in the nighttime.

The Ram Mandir, constructed in the traditional Nagara style, is a three-storied shrine, measuring 380 feet in length (east-west direction), 250 feet in width, and 161 feet in height. It has a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors. It features five Mandaps (halls) — Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prarthna Mandap, and Kirtan Mandap.

The preparations are in full swing for the ‘Pran Prathistha‘ ceremony of Ram Lalla in the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir on January 22.

Idols of elephants, lions, Lord Hanuman, and Garuda, ‘vahana’ of Lord Vishnu, have been installed at the entrance gate of the Ram Mandir.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22. He will perform the rituals in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Mandir at around 12.15 p.m.
