Devotees dance, celebrate Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha at Wadala Ram Temple, Mumbai

After the unveiling of the idol of Ram Lalla at Shri Ram Janmaboomi Temple in Ayodhya on Monday, devotees outside the Wadala Ram Temple in Mumbai celebrated the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla by dancing and bursting crackers. The idol of Lord Ram was revealed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who led rituals at the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in the sanctum sanctorum of the grand temple.

The ceremony unfolded in an atmosphere filled with a deep sense of devotion. Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopters showered flower petals over Shri Ram Janmaboomi Temple premises in Ayodhya as the idol of Ram Lalla was unveiled. Devotees and guests enthusiastically chanted ‘Jai Sri Ram’ during the ceremony. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, and state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were among the dignitaries present.

The historic event, attended by representatives from major spiritual and religious sects, as well as people from various walks of life and tribal communities, witnessed the Prime Minister addressing the distinguished gathering. PM Modi interacted with shramjeevis associated with the construction of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir and visited Kuber Tila, where the ancient temple of Lord Shiv has been restored.

The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, constructed in traditional Nagara style, boasts dimensions of 380 feet (east-west) in length, 250 feet in width, and 161 feet in height, supported by a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors. The pillars and walls intricately depict sculpted representations of Hindu deities, gods, and goddesses. The main sanctum sanctorum at the ground floor houses the idol of Shri Ramlalla, representing the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram.

The Mandir complex includes various halls (Mandaps) like Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prathana Mandap, and Kirtan Mandap. Nearby is a historic well (Sita koop) dating back to ancient times. The southwestern part of the complex, Kuber Tila, features the restored ancient temple of Bhagwan Shiv, along with a statue of Jatayu.

The foundation of the Mandir is constructed with a 14-meter-thick layer of roller-compacted concrete (RCC), providing an appearance of artificial rock, with no use of iron throughout. For protection against ground moisture, a 21-foot-high plinth has been constructed using granite. The Mandir complex incorporates a sewage treatment plant, water treatment plant, water supply for fire safety, and an independent power station, showcasing the use of traditional and indigenous technology in its construction.
