Ayodhya Ram Mandir: What Is
'Mandal Puja'? Know About This 48-Day Ceremony
The consecration ceremony of the
Ram temple in Ayodhya will take place on the Dwadashi Tithi of the Shukla
Paksha of the month of Poush, i.e., January 22, 2024.
Ayodhya Ram Mandir: The grand temple of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya is
now ready. Meanwhile, preparations for the temple's inauguration, the
consecration of Ram Lalla, and the life installation are in full swing. The
consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya will take place on the
Dwadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of the month of Poush, i.e., January 22,
2024, in the presence of seven thousand special guests and four thousand
saints. Approximately 20,000 people from 50 countries worldwide and all states
will be present at this historic occasion. The distribution of consecrated rice
for the life installation ceremony will commence from December 20.
Following the life installation, there will be a
48-day Mandala Puja. Starting from January 23, 2024, the general public will
also be able to have darshan of the deity. While this puja may not be well
known in North India, it is prevalent in South India. The Mandala Puja will be
conducted for 48 days under the guidance of Swami Jagadguru Madhvacharya, the
Peethadhipati of the Pejawar Math in Tirtha Kshetra, with daily abhishekam
(ritual bathing) of Ram Lalla's idol with the dravya (consecrated liquid) from silver
kalashas. Additionally, scholars and acharyas will recite the Chaturvedas and
divine scriptures during the puja.
Mandala Kalam:
It is worth mentioning that the Mandala Puja is a
significant ritual more prevalent in South India, lasting for 41 to 48 days.
The Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple in Kerala observes a 41-day Mandala Kalam, which
signifies the completion of a prolonged penance. The Mandala Puja involves
adhering to various rules and regulations. The puja begins with the invocation
of Lord Ganesha. It is believed that regular and ritualistic worship during
Mandala Puja pleases Lord Shrihari, and since Lord Ram is considered an avatar
of Shrihari, it has been decided to conduct the Mandala Puja at the grand Ram
temple in Ayodhya.
