"On Ram Navami, the sun rays will fall on Lord Ram lalla's forehead for about 5 minutes at 12:16 pm, for which important technical arrangements are being made. Scientists are working to display these moments with full grandeur," Ram Mandir Nirman Samiti chairman Nripendra Mishra said.

How Surya Abhishek will be performed
The visual spectacle has been made possible with optomechanical system on the ground floor of the temple.
This has been done by experts from the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) and scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics-Bengaluru.

For the Surya Abhishek, sun rays would be captured and diverted via a series of optical apparatus.
How the sun rays will be captured
The standard optomechanical setup is a Fabry-Perot cavity, where one mirror is movable, to maximize the response of an optical system to a change in the frequency/wavelength of an input laser.
Using the Fabry-Perot cavity (named after French physicists Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot who developed it in 1897), sunbeams would be guided with utmost precision to illuminate the forehead of the Lord exactly at noon on Ram Navami.

The sun rays would shine on the forehead of Ram Lalla for the next four minutes in a circular form spanning 75 millimetres.
The original plan of the Ram temple trust was to initiate the process after completion of the temple building but following requests of saints and seers, scientists from CBRI volunteered to make the arrangements for ¡®Surya Abhishek¡¯ on the first Ram Navami in the newly constructed temple complex.
