Ayodhya to Celebrate Second Anniversary of Shri Ram Lalla Pran Pratishtha with Grand Religious Events

The holy city of Ayodhya is set to witness grand and spiritually uplifting celebrations as the second anniversary of Shri Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha will be observed on December 31, 2025, with immense devotion and traditional grandeur. The original Pran Pratishtha ceremony was held on January 22, 2024, but the anniversary is being commemorated according to the Hindu lunar calendar.

Following tradition, the first anniversary was observed on January 11, 2025, and the second will now be celebrated in accordance with religious scriptures and rituals.

The religious observances will begin on December 27, 2025, and continue until January 2, 2026. The main ceremonial event will take place on December 31, while pujas, havans, and associated rituals will continue for two more days.

All rituals will be conducted under the guidance of Jagadguru Madhvacharya Ji, ensuring adherence to sacred Vedic traditions.

India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will attend the celebrations as the chief guest, marking the national significance of the occasion. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also remain present, adding further importance to the historic event.

On December 31, Rajnath Singh will perform flag hoisting at the Maa Annapurna Temple, located within the Ram Janmabhoomi temple complex. He will also participate as a distinguished guest in the Pratishtha Dwadashi ceremony.

A series of cultural and devotional programs will commence from December 29, showcasing religious music, spiritual discourses, and cultural performances rooted in Ram Bhakti and Indian traditions. These events aim to enrich the spiritual experience of devotees visiting Ayodhya.

To ensure smooth movement and safety of devotees, special entry and exit arrangements have been made. Pilgrims will access Angad Tila via Sugriv Path, helping manage crowd flow efficiently during peak days of the celebrations.

Providing details during a meeting of temple-associated volunteers, Gopal Ji, associated with the Ram Janmabhoomi temple administration, stated that preparations are in their final stage. Extensive arrangements are being made to welcome devotees arriving from across India and abroad.

With lakhs of devotees expected to visit Ram Nagari during the anniversary celebrations, Ayodhya is once again poised to reaffirm its place as a global spiritual center, blending devotion, tradition, and disciplined organization.
