 "ram temple, times square")
Times Square in the United States New York City will live-stream the mega consecration of Ram Temple scheduled to be held in Ayodhya on January 22, reported India Today, citing sources. Apart from being televised in all states of the country, the much-anticipated 'Pran-Pratishtha' (consecration) of Ram Lalla will also be telecast at various Indian embassies throughout the world.
On the historic occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address all the Ram bhakts in India and abroad.
Meanwhile, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced that the consecration ceremony will be telecast live from booth level across the country. According to news agency ANI, BJP members have been told to set up large screens at the booth level for the live broadcast of the consecration.
"This way, the public can have darshan of Shri Ram Lalla and witness the consecration ceremony," a person familiar with the matter was quoted as saying by ANI.
The vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla (infant Lord Ram) are scheduled to commence on January 16, a week before the main ceremony.
