The invitation, shared on X (formerly Twitter), captured the elation of the Tamil Nadu BJP leader as he expressed, "Today's event was the best experience of my life!"
Arjunamurthy, accompanied by RSS officials, visited Rajinikanth at his residence, presenting the revered actor with the invitation. The invitation marks a significant step in the run-up to the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple.
The prestigious event has garnered attention not only from political circles but also from the film industry, with invitations extended to renowned personalities, including actors Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Anupam Kher, Akshay Kumar, and acclaimed directors Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Rohit Shetty, along with producer Mahaveer Jain.
South Indian luminaries, such as Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, Dhanush, and Rishab Shetty, have also been invited to grace the occasion, emphasizing the diverse participation in this cultural and spiritual celebration.
Chief Priest of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, Acharya Satyendra Das, earlier expressed his enthusiasm for artists attending the 'pran pratishtha' of the Ram Temple, stating, "It is a good thing, artists should come. All the artists who are coming will be welcomed in Ayodhya."
The event is expected to draw a massive crowd of devotees, with the Sri Ram Janambhoomi Trust extending invitations to 4,000 saints from various sects. The grand inauguration will witness the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
As per PTI, the consecration ceremony will be preceded by Vedic rituals, beginning on January 16, a week before the main event. Vedic priest Lakshmi Kant Dixit, hailing from Varanasi, will perform the main rituals of the consecration ceremony on January 22. Ayodhya will observe the Amrit Mahotsav from January 14 to January 22, marking the auspicious occasion.
As preparations intensify, Ayodhya is gearing up to host thousands of devotees, with arrangements made for 10,000-15,000 people, ensuring a seamless and spiritually enriching experience. Local authorities are implementing enhanced security measures and logistical arrangements to facilitate a smooth celebration for all attendees.
