Ram Mandir Ayodhya
What is Happening on 22nd January, Why it is Important?
22nd January will be one of the biggest events of 2024 in India, you might be wondering what’s so special about 22md January. Well, on 22nd January lord Rama is returning to his home in Ayodhya. 22nd January will be glorious as Raam Lalla Pran Pratishtha will be celebrated on this auspicious day. Also, the opening of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will be done in the presence of thousands of Devotees.
Ayodhya is home to Lord Rama, but the main temple at the place where lords were born was demolished in the 1500s, and after more than 500+ years temple of Lord Rama will be established after all the challenges faced by the supporters. Also, this day will be declared as a public holiday for schools, colleges, and offices across India. Only emergency services and attentional services will be opened officially.
Why 22nd January Is Selected For Ram Mandir Ayodhya?
22nd January 12.29 pm to 12.30 pm is the most auspicious Shubh Muhurat for this special occasion. On this very occasion the Suryadev will be in Uttaryan, which is considered a highly positive time to do any activity or start anything in Hindi mythology. This is the very location where Pita Bhisma left his soul and the battlefield of Mahabharata and obtained salvation. This time and date are perfect for the opening of Ram Mandir, but still, if anything goes into the negatives, this period falls into Abhijeet Muhurata. Abhijeet Muhurata is used when no special Muhurata is available for doing rituals and is considered a good time.
Why 22nd Is Declared As A Holiday?
As the whole of India will be watching Ram Mandir Stapna, there should not be any loss of any citizen of India. That is why most of the cities in India have already declared holidays on the 22nd of January. If a holiday is not possible for companies and colleges then they have to provide half a day to their employees or students.
