Ayodhya. There is a plan to prepare an annual calendar for organizing the year-long celebrations at Ram Mandir. Now preparations are underway to prepare a new annual calendar. Along with traditional festivals, new festivals will also be added in this new calendar. There is a plan to add the date of Bhoomi Pujan and Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla for the construction of Ram Mandir in the festival list.
Discussions have been going on for a long time on the festival schedule of Ram Mandir, but no concrete initiative has been taken in this direction. Right now, only traditional festivals of Ayodhya are being organized in Ram Mandir, but new festivals will be added to it in future. According to information received from trust sources, more than a dozen festivals will be celebrated in Ram Mandir throughout the year. After the Pran Pratishtha of Ramlala, this year Shri Krishna Janmashtami was also celebrated with great pomp in Ramlala’s court for the first time. Although Janmashtami was celebrated earlier as well, but it was limited to performing the tradition.
According to trust sources, a committee is soon going to be formed to prepare the annual festival calendar, which will give its proposal after consulting various scholars and saints. Further decision will be taken accordingly. The date of Pran Pratishtha and Bhoomi Pujan will also be included in the festival calendar. A plan will be made to celebrate the festival on this date.
These festivals will be celebrated throughout the year in the temple
The celebrations in the temple complex will begin from Basant Panchami. Basant Panchami, Ram Navami, Sita Navami, Narasimha Jayanti, Sawan Jhula Utsav, Janmashtami, Bawan Dwadashi, Vijayadashami, Sharad Purnima and Diwali will be celebrated on a grand scale in the complex. Festivals like Vivah Panchami, Makar Sankranti will also be celebrated. Devotees will be allowed to participate in some of these festivals, while some will not be allowed.
Ritual being conducted for the wish of world peace
The rituals continued on the third day as part of the Ramtarak Mantra Yagna week in the Ram Mandir premises. This ritual is being conducted under the guidance of Jagadguru Vishwa Prasanna Tirtha, a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust. In the ritual, one thousand offerings are being made daily with the Ramtarak mantra. Vishwa Prasanna Tirtha said that this ritual is being conducted with the wish that the unrest spread in the country and abroad should end. Along with this, the wish is also being made through the ritual that the remaining work of the temple construction should be completed without any hindrance.
