Ayodhya decorated ahead of Pran Pratishtha
Ahead of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple next month, a major road of the city is being decorated with sun themed 'Surya Pillars'. Each pillar, thirty feet high, has a decorative sphere that resembles the sun when lit at night. A senior official of the Ayodhya division of Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (PWD) said that 40 such pillars will be installed on the 'Dharma Path' road, which connects Lata Mangeshkar Chowk near Naya Ghat to Ayodhya Bypass.
These 'Sun Pillars' are being installed before the consecration of the idol of Lord Ram Lalla in the newly constructed Ram temple.
Of these, 10 pillars each will be installed on both sides of the road near Lata Mangeshkar Chowk. Each pillar has a decorative cover made of special fibre, displaying the slogan 'Jai Shri Ram', Lord Hanuman's face and other decorative items.
