• Ram Janmabhoomi Trust has decided to hold 'Ram Navami' celebrations at temple premises as well as at places easily accessible to devotees
• Ramkot will be circumambulated, and the lord will be worshipped on the day of Ramnavami
• Events will be organized at Ram Ki Paidi Bhajan Sandhya Sthal and Ram Katha Park

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has decided that 'Ram Navami' celebration programs will be held at Ram Janmabhoomi premises and also at places easily accessible to Ram devotees. The decision in this regard was taken on the first day of the two-day meeting of the Ayodhya Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Building Construction Committee on Saturday.

The meeting was held at the Vishwamitra Ashram in the Ram Janmabhoomi campus under the chairmanship of the Nripendra Mishra committee and will continue on Sunday. On Ram Navami day, special events are organized at Ram Janmabhoomi temple and this time too Ramkot will be circumambulated, and the Lord will be worshiped on Ramnavami day.

Notably, everyone is not allowed to attend the Ramnavami celebrations in the Ram Janmabhoomi premises due to security reasons and hence the Ramnavami program will be organized at Ram Ki Paidi Bhajan Sandhya Sthal and Ram Katha Park this time. This time Ram Navami will be celebrated at one place and thousands of devotees are expected to attend the programs for which preparations have already started as construction work on the first floor of the Ram temple is scheduled for October 2023.

Now only one year of work is left for Lord Ram Lal to sit in his divine magnificent temple, after which next year Ram Navami festival will be celebrated in Ram Janmabhoomi temple. General Secretary Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Champat Rai said, "Ram Navami is organized for nine days and does not end only with worshiping the god. People from different walks of life, including youth and sportsmen, participate in the celebration."

Trust office bearers and artisans were present in the two-day building construction committee meeting which started on Saturday and General Secretary Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Champat Rai informed that very famous sculptor Pramod Kamle was present in the meeting. During the meeting, a discussion was held with Pramod Kamal and information was given on what kind of statue would be installed to circumambulate the Ram Janmabhoomi temple.

Artisan Pramod Kamle said, "I have just brought the model, further it will be decided how the statue will be made and how many statues will be made. This statue will be installed on the circumambulation of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, for which Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has not given permission. But, it is believed, that a decision can be taken at Sunday's meeting."

"I have just come with a model. The meeting will decide how to improve or change the model I brought. A list has been made of how the picture should be made, and we will do the work of making crafts on their picture," added Kamle.

Anil Mishra, a member of the trust, said Nipendra Mishra physically inspected the work going on at the Ram Janmabhoomi complex on Saturday. Anil Mishra said, "Today, Nipendra ji physically inspected all the ongoing works of the entire complex with all TC LNTs and also in the presence of the trust engineer at all locations. In the physical inspection, we verified Saturday's work with our own eyes. We checked the overall progress."

"Nipendra Mishra also went to Sevak Puram to see the script that will be installed in the plinth," added Anil Mishra.
