Former Indian cricketer and current AAP Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh has expressed his belief that the forthcoming Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be a very monumental event. He hoped that many would attend the ceremony and pray for blessings.
Singh sent his “heartfelt wishes to the people of the country” in a Friday interview with the news agency ANI from Dubai. With the Pran Pratishtha quickly coming, I hope that as many people as can make it can come and pray for blessings. A watershed moment has been reached. The construction of a temple near the site of Lord Ram’s birth is a momentous event because Ram is a universal deity. Participation from everyone is encouraged.
According to Singh, who claims to be a “devout follower of religion and God,” he plans to visit the temple. Because I want to be blessed, I go to places of worship like mosques, gurudwaras, and temples. The temple is definitely on my itinerary for any future opportunities. It’s a blessing that the temple’s inauguration is happening during our lifetime. The construction of this temple is being overseen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and I would want to offer my compliments to him.

While Ayodhya prepares for Lord Shri Ram Lala’s Pran Pratishtha event at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi on January 22, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Uttar Pradesh expressed satisfaction with the careful preparation and execution during his inspection of the arrangements on Friday. On Thursday, the idol of Ram Lalla was put in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Temple with great reverence, while joyful cries of “Jai Shri Ram” rang out.
Prior to the upcoming ceremony, a special puja was performed in the sanctum sanctorum on Wednesday night, followed by the delicate indoor transportation of the idol with the use of a crane. December 21 is the date set for Ram Lalla’s ‘Pran Pratishtha’ at the temple in Ayodhya.
During the ‘Pran Pratishtha,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be accompanied by a group of priests headed by Lakshmikant Dixit, who will conduct the principal rites.
