For the unversed, the Pran Pratishtha (consecration) of the Ram Lalla within the temple is scheduled between 12:15 pm and 12:45 pm on January 22. Besides PM Modi, The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple inauguration will be attended by UP CM Yogi Adityanath, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, UP Governor Anandiben Patel, and president of the temple trust Mahant Nritya Gopal Das. It is reported that over 7,000 people have been invited by the temple trust.

The Ram temple complex, built in the traditional Nagara style, will be 380 feet in length (east-west direction), 250 feet in width and 161 feet in height, Rai had said earlier. Each floor of the temple will be 20 feet high and have a total of 392 pillars and 44 gates. No iron is used anywhere in the construction of the temple.

Temples made in the Nagara style are characterised by their towering spires or shikharas, intricate carvings, and symbolic representations. They have meticulous craftsmanship, as visible in the magnificent Khajuraho temples of Madhya Pradesh.
