Expansion
In view of Ramnavmi, the doors of Ram temple will be opened only at 5 am from 15th to 17th April. Changes will also be made in the timings of Raag-Bhog and Aarti of Ramlala. Ram temple priest Santosh Tiwari said that this decision has been taken after consultation with the trust and administration.
Currently Ramlala is woken up at five in the morning. On the day of Ram Navami, he will be woken up at 3:30 in the morning. Abhishekam will be done with a silver urn containing divine medicines. There will be Shringaar Aarti at 5 in the morning, which currently happens at 6:15. The birth aarti will take place at 12 noon. After Bhog Aarti at 12:30 pm, the curtain will be removed at 12:50 pm. In the evening aarti, the curtain will be drawn for only 10 minutes at 6:15 pm. The time of Shayan Aarti will be decided according to the crowd of devotees. The timings of darshan are likely to remain the same on 15th and 16th April also.
Ramlala will appear in yellow jeweled clothes
On the day of Ramnavmi, Ramlala will appear in yellow clothes studded with gold, silver and other gems. These special clothes are being prepared by Delhi’s famous designer Manish Tripathi. Ramlala and his Utsav idol will be crowned with a gold crown. Five quintals of Prasad will be offered. This will include five types of Panjiri.
Surya Tilak on Ram Navami, trial successful
The video of the successful trial conducted on April 8 regarding Ram Lalla’s Surya Tilak is going viral on social media. On April 17, the day of Ram Janmotsav, at exactly 12 o’clock the sun’s rays will do Surya Tilak of Ramlala.
In the one minute 19 second video, Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief archer of Ram temple, is performing the aarti of Ramlala. Meanwhile, the sun’s rays are seen illuminating the face of Ramlala. The music of Ram Siyaram, Siyaram Jai Jai Ram playing in the background is enjoyable. It has been told that scientists will conduct another trial of Surya Tilak on Sunday before Ram Navami.
Sun rays will be brought to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple
In Project Surya Tilak, a gear box, reflective mirror and lens have been arranged in such a way that the sun’s rays will be brought to the sanctum sanctorum from the third floor near the peak of the temple. In this the principles of changing the path of the Sun will be used. CBRI scientist Dr. Pradeep Chauhan said that 100 percent Surya Tilak will be anointed on the forehead of Ramlala’s idol.
This is how the entire mechanism was prepared
A team of scientists from Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) Roorkee has prepared the Surya Tilak Mechanism. It took the team two full years to prepare its design. Work on the design of Ram temple started in 2021. A team of scientists from CBRI has designed the Surya Tilak mechanism in such a way that every year on the day of Ram Navami, at 12 noon, the sun’s rays will fall on the forehead of the idol of Lord Ram for about four minutes. In this construction work, along with CBRI, technical help regarding the path of the Sun has also been taken from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bangalore. Optica, a Bengaluru-based company, has manufactured the lens and brass tube.
