The religious rituals preceding the consecration of Ram Lalla on 22 January started with Arani Manthan on the fourth day on Friday.

The process of havan also commenced in the Yagya Mandap on Friday. Sacrificial offerings were also made on the occasion. Preceding these rituals, established deities like Ganapati and others were also worshipped.
