Ceremonial Details and Significance

Champat Rai further mentioned that they had invited Rajnath Singh for the event, which he has graciously accepted. The presence of the Defense Minister is expected to attract other dignitaries, including the Chief Minister. On the second day of the Pratishtha Dwadashi Paatotsav, various rituals will be conducted at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, including the Tattva Kalash, Tattva Hom, Manju Sukta Hom, Ram Tarak Mantra Hom, and other sacred ceremonies.

In the evening, a procession of the deity will take place, circling the Shri Ram Temple premises three times daily, continuing throughout the rituals. All these events are being organized under the guidance of the revered Vishwaprasanna Teerth Ji Maharaj. According to the priests, this ritual is a Vedic karmic ceremony aimed at balancing the fundamental elements of creation and dispelling adharma, obstacles, and unrest.
