The ritual of Pran Pratishtha will start from 8 am in the morning on January 17 and will continue till 1 pm. After this, the rituals will start at 3 pm and continue till 9:30 pm. That means there will be chanting of mantras and havan-puja for about 10 to 12 hours every day. This sequence will continue till January 21.
On January 22, Ramlala will be seated in the grand sanctum sanctorum. Many pavilions and havan kunds have been made in the temple premises for rituals. There will be a big mandapam outside the temple. There will be many small mandapams of Brahmins. There will be 20 yagya kundas in the middle of the mandapam.
