New Delhi: The temple city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh is one of the most talked-about cities as of today and the reason is the majestic Ayodhya Ram Mandir which will open its gates for the world after the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha on January 22, 2024. The Ayodhya Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other important dignitaries of the country. Several states have declared a ‘Dry Day’ as a commemorative step and now, the Bar Council of India (BCI) has written a letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, requesting him to declare a holiday for all Courts across the country on January 22 on account of Pran Pratishtha.
As mentioned earlier, the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud has received a letter from the Bar Council of India (BCI) and the Chairman of BCI is requesting CJI DY Chandrachud to declare a holiday for all courts across the country on January 22, i.e. the Supreme Court, all High Courts and all Lower Courts. The holiday declaration request is to commemorate the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha and acknowledge its religious, cultural and national significance.
The Chairman in the letter has written, “I am writing to bring to your esteemed attention a matter of significant national and cultural importance for your due consideration. As you are aware, the inauguration of the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is scheduled for January 22, 2024. This event holds immense religious, historical, and cultural significance for millions of people across the country, marking the realization of a long-awaited dream and the culmination of legal proceedings that have been pivotal in defining the nation’s structure.”
It further states, “The construction of the Grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya has been a matter of great faith and has evoked profound sentiments among the citizens. The Supreme Court’s historic verdict on November 9, 2019, which affirmed the birthplace of Lord Rama and allocated the disputed land for the construction of the temple, resonated with the truth and beliefs of the Hindu community.”
“The inauguration ceremony, scheduled between 14th and 22nd January 2024, includes a 7-day agenda of rituals and events, leading up to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony on January 22, 2024. This sacred occasion, marked by the presence of dignitaries and religious leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, signifies the victory of truth and the fulfillment of a deeply cherished dream”, the letter added.
This letter comes after a letter written by an advocate, to the President of India, Prime Minister and Union Home Minister, requesting for the declaration of a national holiday on January 22 because of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony.
