In the Ayodhya Ram Mandir saga, Ganesh Bhatt’s 51-inch Ram Lalla idol showcases unparalleled craftsmanship. Crafted from Karnataka’s Krishna Shila, it missed the central sanctum. Recently unveiled photographs of Bhatt’s creation have stirred interest among devotees and art enthusiasts. Despite not securing a central spot, the idol’s allure remains undeniable.
The Destiny Of Two Exquisite Ram Lalla Idols
While the sacred sanctum sanctorum of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir proudly houses one Ram Lalla idol crafted by Arun Yogiraj, two others, including Ganesh Bhatt’s creation, await their final placement within the temple complex. Meticulously carving the 51-inch statue from the unique Krishna Shila, Ganesh Bhatt resonated with the innocence of the five-year-old Ram Lalla. Despite not selecting it for the central sanctum, the Trust overseeing the Ram Mandir’s affairs has assured the enshrinement of Bhatt’s creation within the temple precinct.
Satyanarayan Pandey’s Unplaced Ram Lalla Idol
Another remarkable creation, sculpted by Satyanarayan Pandey, awaits its moment of glory on the first floor of the temple. Carved from white marble, Pandey’s idol, adorned with golden jewelry, depicts Ram Lalla surrounded by Lord Vishnu’s incarnations. Despite not gracing the central sanctum, Pandey’s creation exudes elegance, contributing a unique touch to the temple’s ambiance.
Arun Yogiraj’s Idol Gracing The Sanctum Sanctorum
The pinnacle of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir’s divine ensemble is the idol sculpted by Arun Yogiraj. Chosen for the sanctum sanctorum, Yogiraj’s 51-inch representation of divine childhood was chiseled from a three billion-year-old rock known for its Krishna Shila or black schist. This ancient stone, excavated from Gujjegowdanapura village in Mysuru, adds a timeless grandeur to the temple. The idol embodies child-like innocence merged with divinity and royalty, captivating the hearts of worshippers and onlookers alike.
Masterpiece’s Unveiling
During ‘Pran Pratishtha’ at Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, Arun Yogiraj’s Ram Lalla idol secured its place in the sanctum sanctorum. This creation, radiating child-like innocence with lotus petal eyes, now represents Lord Rama for the temple trust. Amidst the unfolding divine saga in the Ram Mandir’s grandeur, Yogiraj’s masterpiece symbolizes the intricate blend of spirituality, artistry, and destiny.
