Ayodhya: Nripendra Misra announces Installation of Ram Yantra by President Murmu
Ayodhya, March 19
Nripendra Misra, Chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, said on Thursday that the 'Ram Yantra' will be installed by President Droupadi Murmu on the second floor, ahead of President Droupadi Murmu's visit to Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.
Speaking about the preparations and the schedule of events, Misra told ANI that, "The President's program is being closely monitored by the district administration, representatives from the central government, and the Uttar Pradesh government, all of whom are fully confident that it will be a success. The President will undertake a very important task - the 'Sthapana' of the Shri Ram Yantra. On the ground floor of the temple, Lord Ram is present, and on the first floor, the 'Ram Parivar' resides."
Adding to this, he said, "On the second floor, which is the final floor and a symbol of completeness, the 'Sthapana' of the Shri Ram Yantra will take place. With this, the construction of the temple will be considered complete from today. It is a historic moment for millions of people who never even hoped that Lord Ram's temple would be restored. Today, they are able to have darshan, and their dream is coming true."
He expressed that when people come before Lord Ram for Darshan, they do not believe that they are witnessing this moment and become emotional.
"You must often hear, and you must have discussions with people, that when they come before Lord Ram for Darshan, for a minute, they cannot believe it, and in those moments, tears come to their eyes, the fact that they are witnessing this today. Such a program of construction and the implementation of this entire plan, the way all institutions and governments have provided their contribution and help, which we call 'participation', everyone has participated in this. This event today has become a symbol of that collective participation," Misra said.
Meanwhile, Poshak Designer for Lord Ram, Manish Tripathi, told ANI that, "The poshak of god is fixed, and on special occasions, God wears yellow clothes. So, naturally, you will see God in yellow clothes. Today, in the service of Lord Shri Ram, traditional Indian attire, poshaks from all states, come and are offered at his feet. Special poshaks are being made for Ram Navami also."

I visited last month with my family. What Misra ji said is absolutely true. When you stand there for darshan, the emotion is overwhelming. You just can't believe it's real after all these years. A beautiful symbol of collective faith and effort.
While the spiritual significance is undeniable, I do hope the focus now shifts equally to the development of Ayodhya as a modern city with good infrastructure for the millions of devotees visiting. The temple is magnificent, but the city needs to match that standard.
The detail about the poshaks from all states being offered is so beautiful. It truly represents the unity in our diversity. Lord Ram belongs to everyone. Looking forward to seeing the special attire for Ram Navami!
Visiting India later this year and Ayodhya is definitely on the list. It's fascinating to witness the culmination of such a long-standing cultural and religious project. The architecture looks stunning from the pictures.
The symbolism is deep - Ram Lalla on ground floor, Ram Parivar on first, and now the Yantra on the final floor representing completeness. The thought behind the temple's design is as impressive as the structure itself. A masterful blend of faith, tradition, and modern construction.
