The pran pratishtha ceremony for the new Ram Lalla idol at Ayodhya Ram Mandir is under way, led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Here are some glimpses of the January 22, 2024, ceremony, which is being livestreamed on the DD News (Doordarshan News) YouTube channel and the @PMOIndia account on X.
