Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) – After 550 years of transgression, Hindus have succeeded in liberating the birthplace of Shriram, and now a magnificent Shriram Temple stands there. On 22nd January, Mr Narendra Modi, a staunch Hindu and the Prime Minister of Bharat, will inaugurate this magnificent Temple in the presence of thousands of Saints, Ascetics, Mahants, Karsevaks who fought for the Temple. A large number of Hindus from Bharat and abroad will be present for this ceremony.
The Shriramlalla Idol is 51 inches tall
The Idol in the sanctum sanctorum of Shriram Temple will be Shriram’s child-form; it is 51 inches tall. Three Idols have been sculpted by 3 different sculptors. Among these, one Idol will be selected and consecrated. The remaining 2 Idols will also remain with Shriram Janmabhoomi Teerthakshetra Trust. To sculpt these Idols, huge Shaligrams were brought from the Gandaki River in Nepal. Internationally-acclaimed artist Vasudeo Kamath’s sketch was finalised for making the Idol. The small metal Idol of Shriramlalla that was worshipped for decades in the make-shift Temple will also be kept in the sanctum sanctorum. The sanctum sanctorum will be semi-circular in shape.
