 A grand idol of Ramlalla Sarkar worth ₹200 crore has arrived in Ayodhya from Karnataka, drawing nationwide attention for its extraordinary craftsmanship and devotion. 

The 500-kg idol is said to be crafted using a blend of gold, silver and diamonds, making it one of the most valuable religious idols ever created in India. 

The idol was transported under tight security and ceremonial protocols, reflecting its spiritual, cultural and material significance.

Artisans involved in the creation have highlighted that the idol is not just about material value, but represents Sanatan tradition, faith and collective devotion, with intricate detailing symbolising purity, strength and divinity. 

The arrival of the idol adds to Ayodhya’s growing stature as a global spiritual centre following the Ram Mandir consecration, while also showcasing India’s traditional craftsmanship and religious heritage at an unprecedented scale.

A magnificent gem-studded idol of Lord Ram has recently reached Ayodhya from Karnataka for the Ram Temple. Standing 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide, the gold idol is adorned with precious gems including diamonds, emeralds, rubies, coral, pearls, and sapphires, and weighs around five quintals. Inspired by Karnataka craftsmanship and the Tanjore painting style, the idol was created by Bengaluru-based artist Jayashree Phanish after nearly 2,800 hours of work over nine months. The sacred offering was sent under the inspiration of Swami Vishva Prasanna Tirtha, head of the Pejavara Math in Udupi, by his disciples as a rare devotional gift for the Ram Temple. According to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust trustee Anil Mishra, the idol was dispatched via the postal department, with detailed documentation awaited. The idol is proposed to be installed near Angad Tila, close to the Goswami Tulsidas Temple within the Ram Temple complex in Ayodhya, though the final decision will be taken after Swami Vishva Prasanna Tirtha’s visit. The installation will be carried out through special religious rituals, and the offering is being regarded as a collective devotional gift from the entire state of Karnataka.
