'Surya Tilak' illuminates Ram Lalla idol's forehead at Ayodhya Temple on Ram Navami.

On the occasion of Ram Navami on Wednesday, April 17, the forehead of the Lord Ram Lalla idol in the Ayodhya Temple was adorned with the radiant 'Surya Tilak' (Sun’s rays). This effect was achieved through a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, which was tested by scientists the day before. This marked the first Ram Navami since the consecration of the Ram idol at the Ayodhya temple, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22.

According to a senior scientist from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, the planned size of the tilak was 58 mm. The duration of the tilak on the centre of the forehead was approximately three to three-and-a-half minutes, with two minutes of full illumination.

Amidst chants of ‘Jai Siyavar Ram’, the PM stated, “Today marks the historic occasion of Ram Navami. After a wait of 500 years, Lord Ram has been enshrined in his magnificent temple. In a few moments, Lord Ram will be adorned with the Surya Tilak and his birth anniversary will be celebrated in the sacred city of Ayodhya, in the Ram Temple.”
