First golden door of Ram Mandir installed ahead of January 22 inauguration

Digital Desk: In a momentous development, the first of 46 golden doors has been ceremoniously installed at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, heralding the imminent consecration ceremony. 

This majestic door, standing at 12 feet in height and 8 feet in width, now adorns the upper floor of the sanctum sanctorum. The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's office reveals plans for the installation of 13 more golden doors within the next three days.

Notably, 42 of the total doors will be luxuriously coated with gold, enhancing the opulence of this revered temple. As Ayodhya prepares for the grand event on January 22, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared a holiday for all schools and colleges in the state on that day. 

Moreover, a significant decision to prohibit the sale of liquor throughout the state on the day of the inauguration ceremony underscores the solemnity of the occasion.

Yogi Adityanath, presently in Ayodhya to oversee preparations, has directed the implementation of the 'Kumbh Model' of cleanliness. Emphasizing the importance of a pristine environment, a cleanliness campaign will commence in Ayodhya on January 14.

The upcoming "Pran Pratishtha" on January 22 will witness the attendance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and other special invitees. 

With over 7,000 individuals on the invitee list, including politicians, Bollywood celebrities, cricketers, and industrialists, the event promises to be a landmark in the cultural and religious tapestry of India.
