Veteran BJP leader LK Advani, a key figure in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, will reportedly miss the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya today due to harsh winter conditions, as per reports by Business Standard.

The consecration event, scheduled between 12.20 pm and 1.00 pm, will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, temple trust president Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat Das.

The ceremony is also expected to host 4,000 saints and 2,200 other guests.


Also, Arun Govil and Deepika Chikhalia Topiwala, who played Ram and Sita in the 1987 series Ramayan, will also be present during the event.

To commemorate the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier released commemorative postage stamps on Ayodhya's Ram temple and a book with stamps dedicated to Lord Ram from around the world.
