Preparations are nearly complete for the divine ‘Surya Tilak’ of the Ram Lalla idol at Ayodhya. Successful trials of the same were carried out earlier this month. The ‘tilak’ involves a projection of sunlight on the forehead of Ram Lalla in the ‘gribhagraha’ of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The event is scheduled to take place on April 17 on the occasion of Ram Navami. The ‘Surya Tilak’ will start at 12:16 pm and last for a full 5 minutes. Here’s what Nripendra Misra, Chairman of the Ram Temple Construction Committee had to say about the event.
