BJP Member of Parliament Hema Malini is set to present a dance drama based on the Hindu epic ‘Ramayana’ in Ayodhya ahead of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for January 22, 2024, and will witness the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with several VVIP guests from India and abroad.
In a video message, Hema Malini expressed her excitement about coming to Ayodhya for the first time during the ‘pranpratishtha’ of the Ram Temple, a moment eagerly awaited by people for years. She announced that on January 17, she would be presenting a dance drama based on the Ramayana in Ayodhya.
The Vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla are set to commence on January 16, a week before the main ceremony. The consecration ceremony, to be performed by priest Lakshmi Kant Dixit from Varanasi, is scheduled for January 22. The period from January 14 to January 22 will be marked as Amrit Mahotsav in Ayodhya.
As part of the festivities, a 1008 Hundi Mahayagya will be organized, with thousands of devotees expected to be fed. Ayodhya is preparing to host a large number of devotees, and tent cities are being erected to accommodate them. The Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust has stated that arrangements will be made for 10,000-15,000 people. Local authorities are actively working on enhanced security measures and logistical arrangements to ensure a smooth and spiritually enriching experience for all attendees during the grand consecration ceremony.
