On the occasion of the second anniversary of Ramlala’s death, the entire Ayodhya has become Rammay. The confluence of Pratistha Dwadashi and English New Year has doubled the enthusiasm of the devotees. Saffron flags are fluttering all around, deafening shouts of Jai Shri Ram are echoing and long queues are forming to visit the temples. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also be present today on the completion of two years of the consecration of Ram Temple.
Why is celebration celebrated on 31st December?
Even though the grand Pran Pratishtha took place on 22 January 2024, but according to the calendar, its anniversary is celebrated on Paush Shukla Dwadashi. This year this date falls on 31 December 2025.
