Ram Mandir post-Pran Pratishtha: Rituals for daily worship of Ram Lalla begins
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has released detailed worship guidelines for Ram Lalla after the consecration ceremony and they will come into effect from January 23. The guidelines are titled Shri Ramopasana. Trust General Secretary Champat Rai has outlined the procedures, providing insight into the intricate preparations and rituals that will form the daily routine at this revered Mandir.
The worship rituals are set to commence promptly at 3 am each morning, marking the beginning of a day devoted to spiritual practices. Ram Lalla will ‘wake up’ at 4 o’clock, initiating a sequence of sacred observances. The tradition of performing aarti five times a day, established in the temple’s past, will be continued in the future also. As per the prescribed code, Ram Lalla will be offered fruits and milk at hourly intervals, underscoring a continuous engagement in divine rituals.
“The Mandir gates will remain open for devotees from 8 am to 10 pm every day. In anticipation of an influx of devotees post the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, the Mandir management is contemplating extending the darshan duration to 14-15 hours,” Rai said. Ram Mandir priest Satyendra Das said that Ram Lalla would wear dresses of different colour corresponding to the day of the week. “The tradition dating back to 1949 when Shri Ram Lalla first appeared will continue even in his new abode,” Das said.
Ram Lalla will don white attire on Monday, red on Tuesday, green on Wednesday, yellow on Thursday, light yellow or cream on Friday, blue on Saturday, and pink on Sunday. The new ‘Balroop’ idol, a significant addition to the Mandir, will don clothes prepared on handloom by the Heritage and Handweaving Revival Charitable Trust of Pune. As many as 10-15 lakh artisans from across the country have contributed to the weaving process.
The chief priest said that following the completion of the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 23, the Mandir will enter a phase of purification, worship, and embellishment starting at 3 am in the Brahma muhurta.
