On the lines of the anointment in the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 22, 2024, Ram Lalla will be anointed with Panchamrit, Saryu water, etc. on Pratistha Dwadashi on January 11 this time.

After the consecration and worship, there will be Maha Aarti of Ramlala at exactly 12:20 pm. On January 22 too the ritual of consecration of Ram Lalla will take place at 12:20 pm.

The three-day celebration will also witness cultural and classical programmes by eminent artists.

Ram Janmabhoomi Trust officials said Ram Lalla will wear Pitambari attire on the first anniversary of Pran Pratishtha as designer Manish Tripathi is preparing special clothes for the deity. According to the information received from the Trust, the embroidery of clothes is being done with gold and silver wires. The clothes will be studded with many other gems. The yellow silk is sourced from Dharmavaram in Andhra Pradesh, South India. The specialty of this silk is that its colour remains for a long time and its shine also remains intact.

Considering the winter season, Pashmina garments i.e. dhoti and scarf are also being prepared for Ram Lalla. This too is being embroidered with gold and silver. On the date of Pratistha Dwadashi, Ram Lalla will wear a gold crown, gold necklace and other jewellery.

Trust officials said here on Thursday that the Ram Temple is proving to be the best not only in terms of grandeur but also in terms of facilities. One year of the consecration of the idol of Ramlala is about to be completed. Many facilities have been developed in Ram temple in one year and now devotees are getting easy darshan of Ramlala. Due to this the crowd of devotees has increased and on average one lakh devotees are arriving daily.

Since Pran Pratistha, many facilities have been developed for the devotees. Pilgrim Service Center is being operated on Ram Janmabhoomi Path where seating arrangements have been made for the devotees. Donation counter, pass counter and inquiry center have also been developed here. Apart from this, the construction of Pilgrim Facilitation Center in the Ram Janmabhoomi complex has been completed.

Apart from this, a free wheelchair facility is provided by the Trust for disabled and elderly devotees. ATMs are also installed on Ram Janmabhoomi Darshan Path. There is also a facility of drinking water. A German hangar has been installed to protect the devotees from sun and heat. As soon as you reach the Darshan Path, you start seeing Ram Lalla on big LED screens.

Besides, devotees are getting a chance to participate in the Aarti. Passes have been issued to attend the three aartis of Ram Lalla. Two types of passes are issued for VIP darshan.

An emergency hospital with modern facilities has been opened by Apollo in the Pilgrim Facilitation Center premises. If devotees fall ill during darshan, they will get immediate treatment. Mobile charging centers have also been made on Darshan Path. Along with a Khoya Paya Camp, there is also a facility of selfie points at many places.
