LUCKNOW: The
idols of Ram Lalla are set to be shifted to a fibre structure during Navaratra, which will begin on March 25 and conclude with Ram Navami on April 2. The final date on which the idols will be shifted is yet to be decided.
Ram temple trust member Mahant Dinendra Das told TOI that the dates for shifting of idols would be finalised at the meeting of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust to be held shortly.
The idols of Ram Lalla were first placed during the intervening night of December 22-23, 1949. After 43 years, the idols were removed when the disputed structure was demolished and placed at a safe location for 24 hours before being put in the makeshift temple.
Now, 28 years later, the idols will again be shifted, though temporarily, from the makeshift structure in
Ayodhya when construction of temple begins.
