Saloni Subha ( Intern Journalist ) A group of 21 Hindu priests began a holy ceremony with chanting of Vedic hymns, at 9:30 am on Monday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the Ram Mandir in the town of Uttar Pradesh Ayodhya after two days, bringing an end to the 135 years of conflict.
Eight priests of Ayodhya, five from Varanasi and Delhi respectively, and three from Kamikochi in Tamil Nadu performed the Vedic rituals. Swami Govind Dev Giri Maharaj presided over the rituals. “The ceremony began with ‘Gauri Ganesh’ puja as per Hindu tradition. Before any auspicious work, Lord Ganesh is worshipped. So, before the construction of Ram Mandir, this ritual was performed,” said Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, successor designate of Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.
Nritya Gopal Das is the chairman of Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust. “On Tuesday Ramacharya puja will be performed and on last day ( August 5 ) bhumi pujan will take place”, Kamal Nayan Das informed.
Apart from all this, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Ram Janmabhoomi site with Senior Officials to review preparation in the afternoon. He also went to the Hanuman Garhi temple, where the Prime Minister is likely to come to offer the prayers before the ceremony on Wednesday and was seen giving various directions to the Senior Officer.
“It is not only a historic but also an emotional moment as after 500 years the Ram temple work will start. It will be the foundation of a new India”, Adityanath told reporters.
