Why Has January 22 Been Picked As The Date For The Ram Mandir Consecration?
The consecration of the Ram Mandir on 22 January is based on auspicious alignments in Hindu mythology. Lord Ram's birth is believed to have occurred during the confluence of Abhijit Muhurat, Mrigashirsha Nakshatra, Amrit Siddhi Yoga, and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga. This date holds significance as it marks the removal of negative energies, symbolized by Lord Shiva's victory over the demon Tripurasur during Abhijit Muhurat. The alignment of these auspicious periods, including the Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, on 22 January makes it an ideal time for the Ram Temple's pran pratishtha in Ayodhya.
