New Delhi: The Ayodhya Ram Mandir was open to the public in January last year. The first floor of the temple will have Raja Ram installed in his grand, kingly form. This step also involves performing Pran Pratishtha for several deities throughout the complex, including those in seven nearby shrines and seven additional mandapams.
As the second phase of the consecration ceremony of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir has started, let us tell you about the beautiful golden top (Shikhar) and the new first floor of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir.
The Ram Mandir Teerth Kshetra Trust states that the first floor of the temple will have 132 pillars, which is fewer than on the ground floor. Above the main area, known as the sanctum sanctorum, there will be a court for Lord Shri Ram. This is where Lord Shri Ram will sit on a throne along with Mata Janaki (Sita) and Brother Lakshman. You will also see Lord Hanuman here.
The first floor of the Ram Mandir showcases India’s rich culture and architectural skills. It offers devotees a place to connect with the divine presence of Lord Rama and his court.
The first floor will feature beautifully decorated idols of Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshman, and Lord Hanuman, representing family harmony and divine qualities.
Skilled artisans and workers are dedicated to ensuring that every detail of the Ram Darbar reflects its divine and grand character.
The first golden door marks progress in making the long-awaited vision of the Ram Mandir a reality.
Six additional temples will be built within the outer wall to hold the idols of Surya, Bhagwati, Annapurna, Shivling, Ganpati, and Lord Hanuman.
The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya features a gold-plated dome. This shiny dome, located above the sanctum, is a major attraction and adds beauty to the temple’s design. The golden dome rises 161 feet above the sanctum and draws many visitors and devotees.
In Hindu belief, gold stands for purity, divinity, and immortality. The golden dome is at the highest point of the temple, representing Lord Ram’s important spiritual position. Its visibility from great distances enhances the devotional atmosphere in Ayodhya.
