Ayodhya. Shri Ram does not come and go anywhere. He is eternal, eternal and ever new. He is in the hearts of the devotees, who can wait for ages like Shabari and sometimes Shri Ram manifests from the latent form. It was such a rare occasion on Monday, when Ram Lalla’s blindfold was opened with the consecration of life in the sanctum sanctorum of the newly constructed temple.
The talking eyes were proving wrong those people who say that stone cannot melt and were reassuring those people who were desperate for the effect of sound. For this miracle, Ramjanmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust and Arun Yogiraj, who made the idol of Ramlala, will have to give 100 percent marks.
Three sculptors were selected
The Trust not only selected Yogiraj and two other artists among many eminent sculptors for the construction of the statue after several stages of investigation, but also built three statues to install it at this very important center of faith. Chose this statue from among the statues.
It was not easy to select the statue of Ramlala to suit the newly constructed temple that fulfilled the long-held dream. The Trust got help from the description of the child form of Shri Ram described in Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas. According to this description, it was decided to cast Ramlala as a five-year-old royal son with super-human consciousness and dark supernatural aura.
On Monday, this decision from the sanctum sanctorum came to fruition with full probability. The idol of Ramlala, which was built only last month, has taken the form of Chaitanya-Chinmay idol on Monday and Ramlala has been adorned with beautiful clothes, various make-up and jewellery. The crown is shining over the curly hair.
Ramanandiya tilak of emerald and diamond on the forehead
Apart from faith, it is also interesting to see from the point of view of art. On one side, there is a subtle depiction of a lock of hair that gives life to the statue, and on the other side, there is a crown. It is not a symbol of the throne of a king but is decorated like the natural aura of a child with folk entertainment and immense potential.
Adorned with the Ramanandiya tilak of emerald and diamond on the forehead, ear rings, muktahar, armband, girdle, panjaniya, silk pitambari etc., the incorporeal and supernatural Ramlala appears to be closer to the devotees. Devotion is also dedicated to him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, representing 140 crore Indians, is among those who bowed before Ram Lalla. Apart from them, thousands of other guests of this occasion also dedicated themselves to Ram Lalla, representing the country as per their aura.
well-intentioned height attempt proved fruitful
The height of the statue of Ramlala was also a matter of consideration for the Ramjanmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The apprehension was that even a small mistake could ruin the situation. There was full emphasis on this so that the devotees could have the darshan of Ramlala clearly. According to the devotees, even if Ramlala was a little lower, there was trouble if he was higher.
An effort was made to place Ramlala at such a height that the devotee could not only see him clearly, but also the visual relationship between the devotee and God could be established. It was even more difficult to do this when every year on the occasion of Ram Janmotsav, the head of the idol had to be anointed with sunlight.
After the suggestion of scientists and experts, the height of the idol of Ramlala was fixed at four feet three inches and the height of the seat of the idol was fixed at one foot six inches. The easy darshan of Ram Lalla and the easy opportunity to have visual contact with him on Monday also proved the significance of this effort.
