An elaborate ''Rudra Abhishek'' ceremony, followed by an ''aarti'' was held at the Kuber Tila temple in Ayodhya on Wednesday (10 June) morning to mark the beginning of temple construction.
Led by Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, spokesperson for Mahant Nritya Gopal Das (who is the president of the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust), about 25 priests participated in the rituals.
The ''Rudra Abhishek'', according to the Mahant, was held to pray to Lord Shiva and seek his protection from any obstacles that may come in the way of temple construction.
The preliminary work on the temple site will begin now though the actual construction will start much later.
In view of the Corona crisis, plans to hold a grand ''bhumi pujan'' ceremony have been put off for now.
Earlier on Monday (8 June), the temporary Ram Temple in Ayodhya opened for devotees after a gap of over two months with precautions in place to prevent the coronavirus spread.
The temple will be open for eight hours from 8 am to 1 pm and then 3 pm to 6 pm every day.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
