The switch to breathable and light-weight materials shows that the deity’s comfort in the impending hot months is being considered. Crafted from a unique three-billion-year-old black stone, Ram Lalla is a revered idol that stands 51 inches tall and represents the young Lord Rama, also known as “Balak Ram.” The talented artisan Arun Yogiraj from Mysuru created the idol.
On January 22, 2024, the Pran Pratishtha ceremony for the divine idol was performed. The Hanumangarhi temple’s administration met on Friday to discuss arrangements for housing devotees ahead of the upcoming Ram Navami celebrations, according to temple officials.
The district administration and the police of Ayodhya were present at the meeting as well. they said. “The officials discussed provisions for drinking water and arrangements with special attention to the provision of toilets to ensure that devotees’ feet do not burn in the summer heat.”
The Hanumangarhi temple administration convened a meeting following incidents where several devotees fainted due to the heat and insufficient water supply.
The esteemed saints of Hanumangarh, Sankat Mochan Sena National President Sanjay Das, Ayodhya Mayor Girishpati Tripathi, the city’s Circle Officer, senior police officers, and municipal corporation representatives were present at the meeting. The mayor of Ayodhya and the police administration have pledged that there won’t be any problems for visitors and that all the necessary preparations will be made to make Ram Navami easier for the devotees.
