In a deeply spiritual and culturally significant event, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday led the Pran Pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of the Ram Darbar at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, cementing another historic milestone in the construction of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.

This ceremonial installation of deities on the first floor of the temple signifies not only religious completion but also the symbolic spiritual energizing of the temple complex, as eight temples including Ram Darbar were consecrated in the sacred precinct.

Held on June 5, 2025, the Pran Pratishtha aligned with the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat, a time period regarded as one of the most spiritually potent of the day. The sacred rituals, steeped in Vedic tradition, were conducted by 101 Vedic scholars, invoking divine presence through mantras, homas (sacred fires), and Vedic hymns.

A Landmark Day for Ayodhya and Yogi Adityanath

The Pran Pratishtha marked not only a historic day in the Ram Mandir movement but also coincided with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s birthday. Beginning his day with a visit to Hanuman Garhi, CM Yogi later participated in the temple rituals, performed aarti of the Ram Darbar, and attended several other programmes organized across the city.

In his spiritual and administrative leadership roles, Yogi has played a central part in steering Ayodhya’s transformation over the past decade. From religious resurgence to modern infrastructure, the event was widely seen as a culmination of both spiritual and developmental milestones.

Ceremony Details: A Divine Sequence of Rituals

The Pran Pratishtha ceremony commenced at 11:00 am in the presence of religious leaders, temple trustees, and thousands of devotees. According to Hindu tradition, “Pran Pratishtha” is the ritual where life-force is invoked into the idol, transforming it from stone to a living deity.

The timing of the consecration — between 11:45 am and 12:45 pm — was carefully chosen to fall under Abhijit Muhurat, enhancing the spiritual sanctity of the event. Along with Ram Darbar, idols of other deities were installed in seven newly constructed temples, forming a sanctified ring around the main shrine.

CM Yogi’s reverence was visible throughout the ceremony. He stood in prayerful attention during the entire aarti and was later seen interacting with saints, mahants, and devotees. According to temple authorities, this phase marks the completion of the structural and spiritual framework of the grand Ram Mandir, which had been under various phases of construction since the landmark Supreme Court verdict in 2019.

Ayodhya’s Spiritual and Infrastructural Renaissance

The completion of the Ram Temple structure, along with the ceremonial Pran Pratishtha, has once again catapulted Ayodhya to global spiritual attention. Local saints and scholars called it a historic and emotionally fulfilling day, hailing CM Yogi’s leadership in bringing Ayodhya back to its ancient spiritual prominence.

Under his administration, Ayodhya has undergone a transformation worth over ₹32,000 crore, encompassing:

• Road and rail upgrades

• Development of Ayodhya International Airport

• Beautification of the Saryu River banks

• Ram Katha Park modernization

• Improved tourist amenities across religious sites

The Ram Mandir complex itself is a marvel of traditional design and modern engineering, designed to withstand centuries. With the Pran Pratishtha complete, it has now become fully operational as a living temple where daily rituals and pilgrim offerings will occur regularly.

Saryu Trayodashi Jayanti and Devotional Festivities

The event coincided with Saryu Trayodashi Jayanti, an auspicious day in the local religious calendar. On this occasion, special aartis, Saryu snan (holy bath), and cultural programmes were conducted along the ghats. CM Yogi also led the ritual abhishek (bathing) of the Saryu River, further symbolizing the purification and renewal of Ayodhya's spiritual energies.

The administration ensured tight security and crowd control, as thousands of devotees from across India and abroad arrived to witness the consecration. Drone surveillance, medical stations, and volunteer arrangements were visible throughout the city.

A Spiritual, Political, and Cultural Statement

The Pran Pratishtha of Ram Darbar at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir is far more than a religious ritual — it is a symbolic assertion of India’s civilizational ethos, a culmination of centuries of devotion, a revival of ancient heritage, and an emblem of national unity and pride.

CM Yogi’s role as both a spiritual figure and administrative head was acknowledged by multiple saints and Mahants, who praised his personal commitment, spiritual grounding, and vision for Ayodhya.

This Pran Pratishtha now opens the way for Ram Navami 2026 celebrations to be held at the fully consecrated temple complex — a moment anticipated to be the biggest religious gathering in the region’s recent history.

In conclusion, June 5, 2025, will be remembered as a milestone date in Ayodhya’s spiritual renaissance, where the Ram Darbar was brought to life amidst divine chants, ritual purity, and nationwide devotion. Under CM Yogi Adityanath's stewardship, the Ram Mandir project has transformed from a legal judgment to a living centre of faith, ensuring Ayodhya continues to shine as the spiritual heartbeat of India.
