Ayodhya Ram Mandir Maha Prasad: The pran pratishtha ceremony of Lord Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir will take place today during the ‘abhijeet muhurat’. Latest reports say that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has prepared more than 20,000 packets of the ‘mahaprasad’ of the consecration ceremony. After the pran pratishtha ceremony concludes at 1 pm, the Mandir officials will distribute the packets of mahaprasad among the dignitaries and VVIPs, who are attending the ceremony.

Latest reports say that the mahaprasad of the pran pratishtha ceremony has been prepared using pure ‘desi ghee’. Along with this, other key ingredients include panch meva (dry fruits of five different varieties), cheeni (sugar), besan (gram flour). The Ayodhya mahaprasad also contains water from the sacred Saryu River. Apart from Saryu Jal in a small bottle, the mahaprasad box also contains kalawa (sacred cotton red thread), akshat (unbroken rice) and supari (betel nuts).

The Shri Ram Mandir pran pratishtha ‘mahaprasad’ has been prepared by Gujarat-based Bhagwa Sena Bharti Garvi and Sant Seva Sansthan. These two groups have worked under the guidance of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust. A team consisting of over 200 people has prepared the mahaprasad with over 5,000 kilogram of ingredients.

The Ram Mandir trust is also providing food to more than 5,000 saints, who are currently residing at Udaasin Ashram Ranopali. They receive daily meals along with essential kits containing a blanket, pillow, and bedsheet.

Is Pran Pratishtha Prasad available online? Fact Check!

A large number of companies claimed the distribution of free Prasad. Several websites claim to deliver the Pran Pratishtha Prasad. However, these claims are largely false. According to media reports, the companies do not have any agreement with Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The spokesperson of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Vinod Bansal also wrote on his Twitter and asked people to be cautious about such claims.

He also asked the websites to take down any such claim to avoid any legal action against them.

The book is titled ‘Ayodhya Dham – The Lord’s Abode’ which also carries the image of the old idol of Ram Lalla on its cover.

The ‘mala’ has come up with a fabric pouch that bears ‘Uttar Pradesh Tourism’ and its tagline.

The guests also received a box of four laddoos, chips, revdi, cashew nuts and raisins.
