Ayodhya: There is a festival like atmosphere in Ayodhya today on 11th January. Today the festival is being celebrated for 3 days starting from Saturday. The event is being organized to commemorate the first anniversary of Ramlala’s death last year. However, the question in the minds of many people is that when the consecration was done in the Ram temple on 22 January in 2024, then why is the anniversary being celebrated this time on 11 January in 2025? Let us explain the reason for this.

Ramlala was installed in the grand and divine temple in Ayodhya on 22 January 2024. According to the Hindu calendar, the auspicious time of that date is falling on 11 January. Champat Rai, General Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, said that the anniversary of Pran Pratishtha will be celebrated like other Hindu festivals. He told that last year in 2024, Pran Pratishtha was done on 22 January on the day of Paush Shukla Dwadashi. And this time in 2025 this date is falling on 11 January. That’s why the festival is being celebrated.

He told, ‘All Hindu festivals are celebrated according to specific dates, hence the anniversary of Ramlala’s consecration will also be celebrated according to the date. Festivals like Ram Navami, Krishna Janmashtami and Vivah Panchami are celebrated according to the Hindu calendar. Similarly, the anniversary of the consecration of Ram temple will be celebrated as ‘Pratishtha Dwadashi’. This date will fall on Paush Shukla Dwadashi on 11 January this year.
