The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stated its intention to broadcast live at the booth level across India the grand consecration of Ayodhya Ram Mandir on January 22, 2024.


According to party sources, BJP workers were instructed to set up giant screens at the booth level so that the public could observe the Shri Ram Consecration ritual, an ANI report added.


The idea intends to facilitate the public darshan of Shri Ram Lala at the consecration ceremony, allowing for broad involvement. "This way, the general public can have darshan of Shri Ram Lala and witness the consecration ceremony," an ANI source mentioned 


The report added that in addition to the live broadcast, BJP employees are encouraged to participate in community service programmes like as blanket distribution, communal feasts ('bhandar'), and food or fruit donations for those in need.

"Workers may choose to distribute blankets, organize community feasts ('bhandar'), or contribute through donations in terms of food or fruits to help those in need," the sources told ANI. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the Ram Temple consecration ceremony, attracting the attention of VVIP guests from India and throughout the world.

Beginning on January 16, Vedic rituals will precede Ram Lalla's major consecration ceremony, which will be performed on January 22 by priest Lakshmi Kant Dixit. From January 14 to 22, Ayodhya will host the Amrit Mahotsav.

Tent cities are being set up in Ayodhya to accommodate the thousands of devotees who are expected, with arrangements for 10,000-15,000 people handled by the Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust, the report added. 

According to the report, local authorities are carefully planning security precautions and logistical procedures to ensure that all guests have a smooth and spiritually rewarding experience during the widely anticipated ceremony.

The enthronement of Ram Lalla at the Ram Temple's sanctum-sanctorum has been scheduled for midday on January 22 by the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust, according to another report. Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, has significant spiritual, historical, and cultural significance for Hindus. 

According to the report, recognising Lord Ram's devotees' strong desire to attend the inauguration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked people to avoid big crowds due to security and logistical concerns. He stated that the ceremony was only open to a select few.

On January 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the installation of Ram Lalla's idol at the shrine. PM Modi stated during a big public gathering in Ayodhya, "While many wish to be present for the January 22 event, it is unrealistic for everyone to attend." As a result, I urge all Ram devotees to visit Ayodhya at their leisure after the ceremonial ceremony on January 22 and to avoid making precise commitments for that day."

Preparations for the great Ram Temple opening are well underway, with dignitaries and individuals from all fields anticipated to attend, the report stated.
