Ram temple construction in Ayodhya is all set to begin from Wednesday (June 10) after an elaborate ‘Rudra Abhishek’ ceremony. The construction work commencement ceremony will be attended by a limited number of persons and will be held at the Kuber Tila temple, amid coronavirus outbreak.
The rudrabhishek ritual follows the tradition set by Lord Ram, who prayed to Shiva before launching an attack on Lanka, said Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, spokesperson for the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust head Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.
The work of laying the foundation of the temple will begin after these special prayers.
The prayers will be performed by Kamal Nayan Das and other priests on behalf of Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, who visited the site recently. The ritual will begin at around 8 am.
“This religious ceremony will last for at least two hours and after that the construction of the Ram Mandir will start with the laying of the foundation of the mandir structure,” Kamal Nayan Das said.
