In anticipation of the consecration of the Lord Ram idol in Ayodhya on January 22 next year, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has extended a unique invitation to Ram devotees worldwide. The VHP, in collaboration with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, is urging devotees to perform group aarti in their homes in front of an image of the Shri Ram Temple.

Vinod Bansal, the national spokesperson for the VHP, announced the initiative, stating that around 10 lakh Ram devotee families across India would receive invitations along with three leaflets encouraging them to consider the temple near them as Ayodhya on January 22. The VHP is actively engaged in reaching out to devotees through public relations efforts between January 1 and 15, coordinating the distribution of invitations and information.

Bansal emphasized the importance of the global participation in this spiritual event, encouraging devotees to conduct group worship rituals in their local temples while harmonizing with the aarti performed in Ayodhya. The initiative seeks to connect devotees worldwide to the auspicious occasion, allowing them to witness the consecration of the grand Ram Temple through live telecast on LED screens.

Previously, the VHP, along with other Hindu organizations, extended invitations to 10 crore families across two lakh villages for an event organized by the Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust. This event is scheduled from January 1 to 15, leading up to the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple on January 22.
