PTI, Acharya Satyendra Das said not just peace, ‘Ram Rajya’ is coming to Ayodhya. "Not just peace, 'Ram Rajya' is coming. Ram Lalla will be seated in the sanctum sanctorum," he said and added a couplet -- "Ram Raj baithe trialoka, harshit bhai, gaye sab shoka".

"Grief, pain, tension, will cease to exist and everyone will be happy," the chief priest said. Acharya Das's remarks came ahead of the New Year celebrations at the Ram Temple during which 'Chhapan Bhog', and 'prasad' was offered to Ram Lalla. His aide explained that the 'Chhapan Bhog' is offered to Ram Lalla on special occasions like Holi, Ramnavmi, Basant Panchami, New Year, Independence Day, and Republic Day.

"This New Year is very significant, and it is significant because in this month on January 22, Ram Lalla will be seated in the sanctum sanctorum (of the under-construction temple)...and this will be very beneficial for the people of the country," Acharya Das said. On the night of December 31, Ayodhya resonated with the fervent cries of 'Jai Shri Ram' as numerous locals and visitors congregated at the renowned Lata Mangeshkar Chowk near Naya Ghat to welcome the New Year. Thousands of devotees celebrated the New Year with a holy dip in the Saryu river while others visited Ramjanmabhoomi temple to have a 'darshan' of Ram Lalla.

"A lot of work is to be done in 2024. One is that Ram Lalla will be seated in the sanctum sanctorum. And, Lok Sabha elections also will take place in this year, 2024, and all these will be 'shubh' (propitious) and good," the chief priest said.
