The sparkle of the Silver brick to be used in the bhoomi poojan for the grand Ram Mandir has enthused millions of Ram devotees.
A Bharatiya Janata Party leader has released pictures of the silver brick which will be used during the bhoomi poojan for the grand Ram Temple that is all set to come up in Ayodhya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending the ground-breaking ceremony at the site where Lord Ram is believed to have taken birth.
Lallu Singh, the BJP leader who represents in the Lok Sabha the Faizabad seat that covers Ayodhya, tweeted on Tuesday a picture of a silver brick wrapped in a silver foil.
The words “Prime Minister Narendra Damodar Das Modi” are written in Hindi on the silver brick, specifically mentioning the date (August 5) and the time “12:15:15”. The weight too is mentioned: “22600 gram” (22.6kg).
If it means 22.6kg of silver was used to make the brick, it will cost over Rs 14 lakh at current market prices.
The MP, however, later deleted the tweet on the brick. But a Twitter handle, Friends of RSS, too had tweeted the same image of the silver brick, mentioning that it would be laid by the Prime Minister on August 5.
Till Tuesday night, the Prime Minister’s Office had neither confirmed nor contested the authenticity of the brick.
Privately, members of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, tasked to oversee the construction of the temple, had said the Prime Minister would indeed be in Ayodhya for the August 5 “bhoomi pujan” that will kick off the construction of the temple.
Lallu Singh, the MP who deleted his tweet, had said that he too would be at the ceremony and that this was a matter of good fortune for him.
Sources said Prime Minister Modi was expected to go to Ayodhya and lay the silver brick but did not want others to confirm the program.
“The confirmation will come from the PM’s office at the right time. Nobody else is allowed to do so on behalf of the PM,” a BJP leader said, explaining why the MP had to delete his tweet.
BJP spokesperson Suresh Nakhua also
posted on his Twitter account two pictures of the silver brick with which the construction of the bhavya Ram Mandir will begin on August 5 in the holy temple town of Ayodhya.
Meanwhile, the DM Ayodhya Anuj Kumar Jha has also requested not to spread rumors and stories about the ceremony. It is being said, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself would unfold all glorious facts about the bhoomi poojan ceremony and doesn't want all leaders to break the surprise before the event. On the contrary BJP leaders seem to be in a race to announce the Bhoomi Poojan of the Ram mandir. The uncontrolled excitement of these leaders is evidently visible in the continuous posts of BJP leaders on social media.
The ceremony is expected to start at 11 am and there will be around 200 high-profile guests at the event, apart from PM Modi.
The PM is expected to reach Ram Temple complex at around 11:30 am for the hour-long bhoomi pujan ceremony. This will be followed by PM Modi's address to the gathering.
The 200 guests will be seated in four blocks of 50 each - one for the saints, one for leaders who had led the Ram Mandir movement, one for political dignitaries and the last one for the rest.
Ayodhya is being given a makeover for the event and big screens are being put up across the town for people to watch the ceremony live.
The Ram Mandir bhoomi pujan will also be broadcast live nationally on state broadcaster Doordarshan.
The Ram
Temple will be 161 feet in height and its construction is expected to be completed in around 3 to 3.5 years.
