Expansion
The new archakas who have been trained for worship in Ram temple may soon get the responsibility of worship in Ram temple. New rules have also been prepared for the priests of Ram temple. New priests will have to follow this manual. The most important thing about the rules is that the priests will be deployed for worship in all the temples of the complex as per rotation.
Dr. Anil Mishra, member of Ram Mandir Trust, said that recently a training campaign was conducted for the deployment of trained priests in Ram Mandir. 20 priests were given six months training. Certificates have also been given to the priests who completed the training. Now it has been agreed to employ these priests for worship in other temples being built in the campus including Ram temple. New rules have been prepared for this.
Under this, the priests will perform puja as per rotation in all the temples including Ram temple. Priests will be assigned duty on different dates and shifts. The code of worship that has been made will have to be followed. When someone gives birth or dies, the priest himself should not come to the temple. This means that entry into the temple in an impure condition will be prohibited. Dress code is also under consideration.
