Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony : Pimpri Chinchwad societies hold various programmes
In the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Monday (22nd January), Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the historic “pran pratishtha” ceremony. The consecration lasted only eighty-four seconds during the ‘mool muhurt’ (original time). PM Modi carried out the customs by taking off the 51-inch Lord Ram idol’s blindfold from behind and applying “kajal” using a gold stick. PM Modi entered the temple’s sanctum sanctorum while wearing a golden kurta & cream dhoti. He carried a silver umbrella on a red dupatta that was folded.
