Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak
  • The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

  • During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

  • At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

  • Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

India likely to construct 5-8% more roads y/y in 2024/25 - ICRA
Quick Glance: Govt likely to build 5-8% more roads by 2024-25, per ICRA report
  • Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2014, India built about 90,000 kilometres of national highway, almost double that constructed in the previous decade, according to government estimates.

  • The increase in road investments from 510 billion rupees in 2013/14 to 2.4 trillion rupees ($28.72 billion) in 2022/23 demonstrates a significant growth.

  • Road construction has accelerated since September, after a slow start last year due to heavy rains in parts of the country, with momentum likely to continue, ICRA said in a statement.

  • The government this month delayed a proposed hike in road toll charges for about two months, offering temporary relief to millions of motorists, truckers, and commercial vehicle owners.
