Pran pratishtha ceremony at Ayodhya Ram mandir: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to participate in the much-anticipated Ram mandir consecration or "pran pratishtha" ceremony to be held in the temple town of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh on Monday, January 22.
Tens of thousands of chanting and dancing devotees waving flags, honking horns and beating drums have gathered in Ayodhya, with roads clogged, trains packed full, and the rest marching on foot.
The 50-metre (160-foot)-tall house of worship for Lord Ram Lalla was built on the grounds of the Babri Masjid, which had stood for centuries before being demolished in 1992 by karsevaks led by then-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Lal Krishna Advani.
Nearly 7,000 invitees, including prominent politicians, industrialists, celebrities and sportspersons, are scheduled to attend the "pran pratishtha' event, which is set to begin at 12.20 pm.

Features of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya
The Ram Janmabhoomi mandir, commonly known as Ram temple, has been constructed in the traditional Nagara style. Its length (east-west) is 380 feet, width 250 feet, and height 161 feet. A total of 392 pillars support it, and it has 44 doors.
The pillars and walls of the temple showcase intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities, gods and goddesses. The idol of Ram Lalla has been placed in the main sanctum sanctorum on the Ram temple's ground floor.
Fourteen couples from across the country will serve as the 'yajmans' (hosts) for the "pran pratishtha" of the new 51-inch idol of Ram Lalla. The idol was sculpted by Mysuru resident Arun Yogiraj and placed in the temple's sanctum sanctorum on Thursday.
The Ram mandir has been decorated with "rich stocks" of flowers and special lights, and the entire city is drenched in religious fervour.
