The Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the idol of Ram Lalla crafted by sculptor Arun Yogiraj from Mysuru was held at Ayodhya Ram temple on January 22.
Arun Yogiraj recently shared images of the tools he used to carve the divine eyes of the deity on social media.
Posting the pictures, he expressed, "Sharing this silver hammer with the golden chisel that I used to carve the divine eyes (Netronmilana) of Ram Lalla."
The eyes carved on the 51-inch idol of Ram Lalla, made from shyam shila (blue-black stone). The revelation deeply moved many devotees.
The idol of Lord Ram, depicted in his child form with a bow and arrow, was consecrated at the Ayodhya temple on January 18, just days before the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
Arun Yogiraj was chosen as one of the three sculptors by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra to create the idol of ‘Ram Lalla’.
His social media post garnered significant attention, with people expressing gratitude for sharing photos of the sacred tools, and the comments overflowed with 'Jai Shri Ram'.
The craftsmanship and dedication of Arun Yogiraj in sculpting the divine idol have been widely appreciated by the devotees.
