Ayodhya (UP): The first anniversary of the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple here will be held on January 11 next year, temple trust chief Champat Rai said on Thursday.
The consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla idol in Ayodhya was held on January 22 this year.
“The date for the (anniversary) celebrations is as per the Hindu traditions,” Rai, the general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra, told reporters here.
In a press conference, Rai revealed that construction work is underway for 18 new temples within the Ram Mandir complex, honoring deities like Dashavatar and saints such as Tulsidas.
Rai addressed rumors about the ‘prasad’ served at the temple, clarifying that all offerings are prepared on-site and designed to last. External ‘prasad’, like ‘chhappan bhog’, undergoes careful scrutiny before dedication.
