The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya.

What is Pran Pratishtha? 

Pran Pratishtha's literal meaning is "the establishment of life force", which imbues vitality into the idol of Ram Lalla, transforming it from a mere form into a deity capable of receiving prayers and bestowing blessings. It's a sacred union of the divine and the material, bridging the gap between the devotees and the object of their adoration.

It is during the Pran Patishtha ceremony that a murti, a devotional image of a deity, is consecrated into a Hindu idol. Hymns and mantras are recited to invite the deity as a resident guest and the idol's eyes are opened for the first time.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a 10' to 6, the chores and was ready by 9.

To Dr (Mrs) Sodhi - our friendly neighbourhood doctor - to show our medical discomforts!

Unpacking, distribution of clothes for dry cleaning/washing have been completed.

Lekha's cough has been harsh and persisting.
