Talking about the yantra, it has been modelled on the Shri Ram Yantra of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham. For the unknown, Swami Vijayendra Saraswati has guided the craft of the yantra, Mishra said.

He further continued to add that the yantra was brought to Ayodhya in a ceremonial procession from Tirupati Devasthanam about two years ago and has since been worshipped daily. It has been installed on the second floor of the temple during the auspicious ‘abhijit muhurat’, as part of rituals linked to Chaitra Navratri and the Hindu New Year, as per PTI.
