Ram Lalla Idol

The distinguished sculptor Arun Yogiraj, hailing from Mysuru, has crafted a mesmerizing Ram Lalla idol in the sublime Shyam Rang, or dark hue, sculpted from the sacred 'Krishna Shila' or black stone.

The selection of Yogiraj's artistry adds a touch of divine craftsmanship to the sacred space, as the nation eagerly anticipates the moment when this unique idol will find its revered place in the garbha griha of the magnificent temple.

Champat Rai, Secretary of the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said at a press conference, "Arun Yogiraj, a resident of Mysuru, hails from generations of sculptors… You cannot imagine the kind of life he has lived to sculpt the idol… He has not kept his phone with himself for 15 days and did not speak to his children for 15-20 days at a stretch. He was so engrossed in his work. His idol has been selected and everyone appreciated it."

As the nation eagerly awaits the momentous occasion, these glimpses into the interior of Ayodhya's Ram Mandir heighten the anticipation for the historic inauguration on January 22, 2024.
