Ayodhya: Ahead of the consecration ceremony of Lord Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, a video of the inside visuals of the under-construction Ram Temple has surfaced as the city witnesses Deepotsav celebrations on the occasion of Diwali.
In the video, it can be seen that the under-construction Ram Mandir has been decorated for 'Deepotsav'.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is in Ayodhya, performed 'Aarti' during Deepotsav celebrations.
Meanwhile, RSS has said the January 22 consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be a "great moment of joy for everybody" and called upon the people to celebrate the day as a "festival".
"A magnificent temple of our revered Lord Shri Ram is being built in Ayodhya and the idol consecration ceremony is scheduled to take place on January 22. It will be a great moment of joy for all of us, including those living abroad, as after several years of efforts, a magnificent temple of our Lord Shri Ram is being built in Ayodhya," Sunil Ambekar, the RSS's national publicity head said.
People across the country will take part in "this celebration" by visiting the nearest temples in their respective localities, he said.
"It will be an occasion for a festival. Everyone will not be going to Ayodhya. People will celebrate this festival by visiting their nearest temples. At night time, all should light diyas at their homes. Such an appeal has been made by the RSS to everyone in the country," Ambekar said.
"It will be a great moment of joy for all of us. It will be a moment of harmony," he said and added, "And, I think that with the consecration of the idol at the temple, India will keep up its march on the path of progress."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adtyanath and thousands of seers from across the country have been invited for the consecration ceremony.
