Shri Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra mentioned that President Droupadi Murmu is expected to visit Ayodhya in March to offer prayers to Lord Ram. Although there is no official confirmation yet, Mishra hinted that the President has informally agreed to the visit. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust members recently met with the President and formally invited her to Ayodhya.
Mishra revealed that the temple complex will house heritage manuscripts related to the Ramayana. A rare 400-year-old manuscript with Valmiki’s remarks in ancient Sanskrit script, gifted by Kendriya Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya, will be part of the collection. Initially loaned to the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, the manuscript was permanently gifted to the trust upon the university’s decision to include a dedicated space for Ramayana-related literature in the Ayodhya temple.
The trust aims to preserve ancient Ramayana and Valmiki translations in various Indian languages at the temple complex, establishing it as a significant center for religious and cultural heritage. The consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple took place on January 22, 2024, with nearly 7,000 guests in attendance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi oversaw the event, which garnered national and international attention, drawing spiritual leaders, business figures, athletes, and film personalities.
