Ayodhya. On the fourth day, the consecration ritual of the idol of Lord Ramlala was witnessed in the pavilion built for Yagya Havan, the ancient method of lighting fire and the wonderful Navagraha Yagya. The ritual was started by manifesting Agnidev through Arani Manthan method amid Vedic mantra chanting at the fixed time of Friday at 9 am. In this method, fire is generated by friction of Shami and Peepal wood. In the ritual, the sequence of worship will proceed with this fire.
The fire was secured in the pond and the yajna-havan began. Navagraha Yagya was performed in the pavilion itself, in which 1008 offerings to one planet were made.
