Sun kisses Ram Lalla’s forehead on Ram Navami | Read key points
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.

Quick Glance: Baps Hindu Mandir to Introduce Online Booking System Amid Visitor Influx
  • To address the overwhelming demand, the Baps Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi is planning to implement an online visitor registration system after thousands of individuals arrived at the temple on Tuesday.

  • Abu Dhabi Police assisted in managing traffic flow as the place of worship attracted massive crowds looking to celebrate the festival of Ugadi, equivalent to New Year's Day in the Hindu calendar.

  • Organizers anticipate a rise in visitor numbers during a busy holiday period, as the religious festival coincided with a public holiday for workers in the Emirates to commemorate Eid Al Fitr.

  • A registration booking portal will be launched soon at the Baps Hindu Mandir. The public is advised to monitor the temple's website for updates, as the system was still being configured as of Tuesday.

Quick Glance: Ajay Devgn vs Akshay Kumar: Box Office Rivalry
  • Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar have once again clashed with their films Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. However, this is not the first time they have faced off.

  • In the past, the two superstars have battled at the box office eight times. From Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha vs Angaaray to Thank God vs Ram Setu, they have consistently competed against each other.
