25 to 30 lakh people are expected to visit the Ram Temple on Ram Navam

As anticipation builds for the forthcoming celebration of Ram Navami, the General Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, Champat Rai, has announced preparations for an expected arrival of 25-30 lakh visitors to the Shri Ram Temple. “25-30 lakh people are expected to visit the temple. We need to think about how long we need to keep 5-year-old Ram Lalla awake. People can celebrate Ram Navami in their villages as well,” Champat Rai said. Ram Lalla, a revered 51-inch idol depicting the youthful form of Lord Rama, affectionately known as “Balak Ram,” has been sculpted from a rare three billion-year-old black stone by the skilled hands of Mysuru-based artisan, Arun Yogiraj. The Pran Pratishtha ceremony for this divine idol took place on January 22, 2024. Ram Navami is a Hindu festival that is celebrated in order to honour the birth of Lord Vishnu’s incarnation, Lord Rama. This day marks the end of the nine-day Chaitra-Navratri celebrations, which are celebrated in the Hindu month of Chaitra, which falls on the cusp of spring and summer.
