Ayodhya is observing the 2nd anniversary of Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha with heavy darshan queues, extra aarti slots, and stricter movement near the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, drawing wide attention as Latest News in India. The Trust is treating the anniversary as a tithi-based observance, so the main ceremonies are tied to Paush Shukla Dwadashi and spread across multiple days, not one fixed date. Still, January 22 stays special in public memory, and the city is feeling that pull today.
What’s Happening at the Temple and in the City
Inside the complex, devotees are turning up early for special puja schedules, bhajans, and prasad distribution, while the administration keeps the focus on queues, crowd holding areas, and basic help desks. Officials have spoken about footfall running into several lakhs during the celebration window, so the approach roads and entry routes are being managed in a controlled way.
Public messaging is also part of the day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent greetings for the anniversary, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were reported offering prayers in Ayodhya during the ceremonies.
Midday updates have been flowing through official broadcasters. DD News posted a quick X update on the anniversary celebrations, flagging the scale and the presence of senior leaders. Cultural programmes and devotional music continue in the broader town area too.
What’s Trending Around the Anniversary
Outside Ayodhya, the anniversary is influencing local decisions too. For example, parts of Gujarat announced temporary closure of slaughterhouses on January 22 linked to the Ram temple consecration anniversary. It may sound like a small administrative note, but it shows how widely the day is being marked.
