According to sources, the Ram temple trust has invited 7,000 individuals to the consecration event of the Ram temple, including cricket luminaries Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, and billionaire entrepreneurs Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
Actors Arun Govil and Dipika Chikhlia, who played Lord Ram in the popular TV series “Ramayan,” have also been invited to the ceremony, which will take place on January 22, 2024.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already accepted the invitation.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has invited 7,000 persons to the consecration, including 3,000 VVIPs. According to sources, the relatives of kar sevaks killed in police firing in Ayodhya would also be invited to the celebration.
RSS president Mohan Bhagwat, Yoga guru Ramdev, and industrialists Mukesh Ambai, Ratan Tata, and Gautam Adani are among the VVIPs, they added.
In addition, the organisation has invited 4,000 seers from across the country.
According to Champat Rai, general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, “efforts are also being made to invite one representative from each of the 50 countries for the consecration ceremony.” “Family members of the 50 kar sevaks who died during the Ram temple movement were also invited.” Judges, scientists, writers, and poets have also been invited,” he stated.
Saints, priests, shankaracharyas, religious leaders, former public workers, retired Army officers, lawyers, singers, and Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan winners are among those who have been invited.
“We have also invited journalists who supported the Ram temple movement through their newspapers, writings, and reporting,” VHP spokesperson Sharad Sharma stated. This campaign for the Ram temple would have been completed without them.” VVIPs will be admitted using bar code passes.
“Of the 7,000 invitees, approximately 4,000 will be religious leaders from across the country, with the remaining 3,000 being VVIPs from various areas.” Before the ceremony, invitees will be sent a link to register. “Once they register, a bar code will be generated and used as their entry pass,” Sharma explained.
“Ramlala will be seated in the Ram temple as a 5-year-old boy,” said Champat Rai, secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Three idols are being carved from two rocks, one from Karnataka and one from Rajasthan, for this purpose.” “The idols are 90% complete and are getting the finishing touches.” “The most beautiful idol will be chosen for consecration,” Champat Rai remarked.
