Sabke Ram: A Jaipur-based sculptor, Navaratna Prajapati, crafts a remarkable Guinness World Record-worthy statue of Lord Ram on a pencil tip, measuring a mere 1.3cm, as part of pre-celebrations for the upcoming Ram Temple Pran-Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya.

Crafting the Miniature Marvel

Navaratna Prajapati, renowned for his Guinness World Record in sculpting, dedicates five days to intricately carve the world's smallest Lord Ram statue. Standing at 1.3cm, the masterpiece showcases the sculptor's extraordinary precision and skill.

Gift to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust

Expressing his devotion, Prajapati plans to present the miniature marvel to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. His aspiration is to secure a place for this unique creation in the Shri Ram museum, emphasizing the spiritual significance behind his artistry.

Devotees Offerings Ahead of Ceremony

As the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony approaches, Lord Ram devotees nationwide make notable offerings to the temple. Notable contributions include the world's largest lock from Aligarh and 1,265 kg of laddu Prasad from Hyderabad, symbolizing the devotees' unwavering dedication to Lord Ram.

Heartfelt Story of the Laddu Prasad

The massive laddus, prepared by Sri Ram Catering Services in Hyderabad, embody a poignant story. The owner, Nagabhushanam Reddy, expresses gratitude for his thriving business, pledging to create 1 kg of laddoo daily as a symbol of devotion to Lord Ram. The laddus, accompanied by a food certificate, are a testament to this heartfelt commitment.

The Sentimental Lock Contribution

The 400 kg lock, contributed by an elderly couple, Satya Prakash Sharma and Rukmini Sharma, of Norangabad, Aligarh, two years ago, arrives as a heartfelt offering. Satya Prakash Sharma's wish, before his recent passing, was for the lock to be a gift to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, signifying the sentimental value associated with these contributions.

Grand Temple Opening Preparations

Leaders and dignitaries from diverse backgrounds are invited to witness the grand opening of the Ayodhya Ram Temple. Vedic rituals commenced a week prior to the main Pran-Pratishtha ceremony on January 16, with the placement of the idol of Ram Lalla in the 'Garbha Griha' of the temple on Friday. Varanasi priest Lakshmi Kant Dixit will lead the main rituals during the ceremony, with Prime Minister Modi also participating in the sacred proceedings.
