The voting to decide the idol of Lord Ram Lalla for the grand Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya will take place today. The decision will mark a crucial step in the construction and consecration of the temple, scheduled for January 22.
The voting will be conducted during a meeting of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust entrusted with overseeing the temple's construction and management. Three distinct designs crafted by separate sculptors will be presented, with the idol receiving the highest number of votes to be installed inside the sanctum sanctorum during the consecration ceremony.
A 51-inch-tall idol of Lord Ram, depicting a five-year-old Ram Lalla, will be chosen from the three designs, Champat Rai, the trust secretary, said on Wednesday. "The one that has the best divineness and has a childlike look about it will be selected," he said.
