Sun Rays Light Up Ram Lalla's Idol At Ayodhya Temple On Ram Navami: Watch
Sun rays lit up the forehead of Ram Lalla's idol at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh on the auspicious day of Ram Navami on Sunday.
The 'Surya Tilak' takes place at exactly 12 noon on Ram Navami where a beam of sunlight is precisely directed onto the forehead of the idol of Ram Lalla, forming a divine celestial tilak.
The festival of Ram Navami is being celebrated across the country on Sunday with special arrangements made for devotees visiting the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The Uttar Pradesh government has also planned to light more than two lakh diyas in the holy Hindu town, the birthplace of Lord Ram.
Security arrangements have also been made by the police and administration to ensure law and order.
Inspector General of Police, Ayodhya range, Praveen Kumar said the city has been classified into different zones and sectors, reported PTI. Heavy vehicles have been diverted to the Purvanchal Expressway to ensure no inconvenience to the pilgrims.
Kumar said alternative arrangements similar to those made during the Maha Kumbh are in place.
"Paramilitary forces, along with PAC and civil police, will be deployed for security. Meanwhile, NDRF, SDRF and water police are also on alert around the Saryu River,” the IG said.
