The Prime Minister is scheduled to visit Ayodhya for a full five hours, eagerly awaited. The day will be loaded with public engagements and important events.
Prior to leading the “pran pratishtha” ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is observing a strenuous 11-day “anushthan,” or special ritual. This rite includes things like sleeping on the ground and drinking coconut water.
Since 1990, PM Modi has been a leading participant in the Ram Mandir campaign and was instrumental in arranging former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani’s Rath Yatra.
Building the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has remained an important goal for the BJP since its founding in 1980 and has played a significant role in the party’s electoral platform.

KUBER TILA’S SIGNIFICANCE:
The programme includes a visit to the mythological location of Kuber Tila. An ancient Shivalinga is located at this location, which is known in legends as Shri Navratna. Mahadev is said to have been there since the beginning of time, close to where Shri Ram was born. Furthermore, it is stated that the sitting figure of Shri Kuber, who is the avatar of Shri Vishnu, represents richness and grandeur.
Advance With Protection
As Ayodhya’s security measures become more stringent starting on Saturday afternoon. Authorities in Ayodhya are getting ready to entertain a big number of guests, including many well-known figures. To that end, barricades have been erected at the Ram temple site and other important locations, such as the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk. Additionally, vehicle admission has been prohibited. The crème de la crème of Indian industry, including billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, and sports legend Sachin Tendulkar, have all been invited as state guests.
On Saturday, members of the UP Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) were on the streets. Security officers are on the lookout for movements and activities along Dharampath and Rampath, which are being inundated by devotees from various places. They are also visible along Asharfi Bhavan road and the bylanes of the Hanumangarhi region.
In the temple city, police used movable barriers with barbed wire at almost every major intersection to control traffic, particularly when VIPs were visiting. The extensive list of invitees included almost 8,000 names, but among the 506 A-listers were well-known politicians, powerful businessmen, top actors, athletes, diplomats, judges, and high-ranking clergy.
