ISRO Captures Ayodhya Ram Temple: View From Above

The National Remote Sensing Centre of ISRO on Sunday has revealed the first photos of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya from space.

Captured by the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite in orbit, the image released by ISRO on Sunday unveils the majestic new temple set to be inaugurated on January 22.

Taken on December 16 of the previous year, the image provides a sweeping view that includes Dasharath Mahal, the Ayodhya Railway Station, and the sacred Sarayu River.

Amidst the resonance of Vedic hymns, the consecration is scheduled to occur on Monday, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and other dignitaries.

A 51-inch Ram Lalla idol was placed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram temple last week. Three idols of Lord Ram were built from which the one sculpted by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj has been selected for "Pran Prathistha".

The image shows the deity in a standing position, with a garland of roses around its neck. The face of the idol was revealed just two days ago.

The temple inauguration ceremony will be also attended many ministers from the PM Modi's cabinet, BJP leaders, business magnets, sportsmen and film personalities.
