Breaking: Not PM Modi but Mandir Trustee Anil Mishra and wife designated as Chief Hosts for Ramlalla’s Prana Pratishtha Ceremony in Ayodhya

Scheduled for January 22, the cremation ceremony of Ramlalla in Ayodhya has clarified the host for Prana Pratishtha, dismissing earlier speculations surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s potential role as the chief host. The decision has been clarified by key figures involved in the ceremony, including Pandit Ganeshwar Shastri Dravid, Pandit Laxmikant Dixit, and Swami Ramvinay Das of the Shrimath Trust of General Mantri Ramananda Sampradaya.

Contrary to earlier reports, respected authorities responsible for critical aspects of the ceremony have asserted that Prime Minister Modi will not serve as the main host for the event. The clarification emphasizes the collaborative and inclusive nature of the commemoration.

In an exclusive conversation with Bhaskar, three prominent figures revealed that Dr. Anil Mishra, a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust, and his wife will serve as the chief hosts for the upcoming Prana Pratishtha ceremony of Ramlalla. The couple is set to organize a comprehensive 7-day ritual, encompassing Sankalp, penance, and worship of Lord Ganesha, culminating in their active participation in the Pran Pratishtha.

The decision to appoint householders as the main hosts stems from the belief that only a householder can undertake the significant responsibility of conducting Ramlalla’s Prana Pratishtha vidhi, ensuring the sanctity and authenticity of the ceremony. Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be considered an iconic host, as clarified by the aforementioned religious authorities.

Bhaskar also reached out to Anil Mishra for comments, to which he responded, ‘I have not been informed about this by the Ram Mandir Trust.’ This revelation sheds light on the intricate planning and deliberations behind the selection of hosts for the auspicious occasion.
