The infant form of Lord Rama, known as Ram Lalla, was formally installed in a Pran Pratishtha ceremony held in Rajasthan earlier this week. The ritual, conducted according to traditional Hindu rites, attracted devotees from across the state and was overseen by senior priests.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot addressed the gathering, stating that the ceremony has revitalised India’s cultural consciousness and reinforced the nation’s shared heritage. He highlighted the symbolic importance of honoring ancient traditions in contemporary society.
