According to an official statement, the rituals will include the installation of idols in the Ram Darbar on the first floor of the temple and in six other temples in the complex. Ganga Dussehra has been chosen as the Muhurat for the event, and the main ceremony will be held on June 5. The main Pran Pratishtha ceremony will take place on June 5, when the idols of Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman will be placed on the first floor of Ram Mandir inside the Ram Darbar. Along with this, idols of gods placed in seven other newly built temples within the Ram Mandir premises will also be consecrated. This whole ceremony is being held on a very auspicious muhurat given by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Vijendra Saraswati from Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam.

Champat Rai, Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, issued a statement. No one should gather in Ayodhya for these rituals. No one has been publicly invited to this program. During this period, regular darshan will continue in the temple. However, since construction is going on on the first floor, entry will not be allowed there, Rai also said.

This is a very big event being held at the temple in Ayodhya, so the Anti-Terror Task Force (ATS) and Special Task Force (STF) are deployed with armoured vehicles. Surveillance will be run in three shifts. The authorities are monitoring the temple complex continuously.
