The preparations for the consecration ceremony of the life-sized idol of Lord Rama in the Ram Temple, organised by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, are in full swing.
In the midst of this, Champat Rai, the General Secretary of the Trust, stated on the official account, saying, "We don't know whether 25,000 or 25 lakh people will come to Ayodhya on January 22, but we request that people come to Ayodhya after January 22. Celebrate in your places, perform bhajans, celebrate the festival, and illuminate the doors of your homes with lamps."
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has expedited the process of inviting guests for the consecration ceremony.
In this sequence, the families of the kar sevaks who lost their lives in the 1990 firing incident are also being invited by the Trust.
Purnima Kothari, the sister of Sharad and Ramkumar Kothari who were killed in the Golibar incident in 1990, reached Ayodhya on Sunday.
She met Champat Rai, the General Secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, and also had the darshan of Lord Rama.
She also told Amar Ujala that the dream of her brothers is coming true with the construction of the Ram Temple. Seeing their dream come true is the happiest moment of her life.
