INVESTIGATION DEMANDED BY HEAD PRIEST INTO REVELATION OF RAM LALLA IDOL’s EYE BEFORE CONSECRATION CEREMONY

AYODHYA, Jan. 21, 2024 (TBINN)

Chief Priest of Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya has demanded an investigation after photographs purportedly showing the uncovered eyes of the idol of Ram Lalla were leaked before its January 22, 2024 consecration.

The first image of the new idol placed inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple with eyes covered with a cloth had surfaced on social media late Thursday night. A day later, photos of the idol without the cover circulated on social media platforms.

The eyes of Lord Ram’s idol cannot be revealed before the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ is completed. If the eyes can be seen, an investigation should be done on who revealed the eyes and how the pictures of the idol went viral on social media, Chief Priest Satyendra Das said.
