A tour of the symbolic idol of Ram Lalla (infant Ram) was conducted in the Ram Temple complex in Ayodhya on Wednesday ahead of the ‘Pran Pratishtha‘ ceremony (consecration) on January 22.
A large number of people did a ‘parikrama‘ within the temple complex, carrying the Ram Lalla silver idol in a small palanquin decked up with flowers.
The ‘parikrama‘ was done during the ‘Kalash Yatra’ in the Ram Temple complex.
The Ram Lalla idol touring the Ram Temple is a part of the seven-day ‘Pran Pratishtha‘ rituals, which began on Tuesday.
