Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will visit Ayodhya on Wednesday and participate in the ‘Pratishtha Dwadashi’ celebrations of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshtera. Singh shared a post on his official ‘X’ handle and informed about the development.

“Tomorrow, 31st December, I shall be in Ayodhya. Looking forward to visit Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshtera and also attending the ‘Pratishtha Dwadashi’ celebrations”, the X post said.

Earlier, on December 14, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra general secretary Champat Rai announced that Pran Pratishtha Dwadashi will be observed on December 31. “We have invited Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for that day, and he has accepted. When the country’s Defence Minister comes, the Chief Minister might also come,” he added.

On the second day of the Pratishtha Dwadashi Patotsav celebrations, various rituals were performed as part of the Yajna ceremonies at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. These included Tattva Kalash, Tattva Homa, Manyu Sukta Homa, Ram Taraka Mantra Homa, and other sacred rites.

In the evening, a paalki procession for the deity was held. The palanquin circumambulates the Shri Ram Mandir premises three times daily, and this sequence will continue throughout the rituals. All these programmes are being conducted under the guidance of Pujya Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Ji Maharaj.

According to the acharyas performing the worship, this ritual is a Vedic karmic ritual intended to balance the fundamental elements of creation and eliminate adharma, obstacles, and unrest. (ANI)
