Ram idol sculptor's family not invited to Pran Pratishtha?
Arun Yogiraj, the Mysuru sculptor who created the Ram Lalla idol for the historic Ram temple in Ayodhya, has been invited to the Pran Prathista ceremony on January 22. However, his family members have not received invitations.
Arun's family wanted to attend the Ayodhya ceremony but reportedly didn't receive an invitation. However, they were happy when Arun's sculpture was chosen for the temple.
Vijetha shared, "He never told me the news that his idol was selected. I learned it through the media. He gave it his 100% and did a lot of research for the work. I am very happy."
The idol of Ram Lalla was transported to the temple and lowered into the sanctum sanctorum using a crane. It is a five-year-old idol of Lord Rama and represents an incarnation of God.
A 150-200 kg granite idol of Ram Lalla was ceremoniously brought to the temple amidst lively celebrations. Reports suggest that it may be installed in the shrine today.
