AYODHYA: A beam of sunlight fell directly on Ram Lalla’s idol at the new temple here on noon Wednesday, marking the “Surya Tilak” of the idol on the first Ram Navami since its consecration.
Devotees began queuing up at the Ram temple here before the break of dawn, district officials said. The local administration and the temple authorities had made special arrangements to handle the crowds on Ram Navami.
As the “Surya Tilak” of the deity took place, devotees outside in the sanctum sanctorum hailed the event by chanting “Jai Shri Ram”. Inside, priests conducted an “aarti”.
