This is not merely a metallic figure, but rather a mathematical and spiritual manifestation of cosmic energy. According to the scriptures, just as the 'Shri Yantra' is revered as a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi, the 'Shri Ram Yantra' is regarded as a symbol of the victory and righteous conduct (*Maryada*) of Lord Shri Ram—the avatar of Lord Vishnu. It has been crafted using a blend of special metals and based on precise Vedic calculations.

 

 

The Ram Yantra was prepared at a *matha* (monastery) located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Subsequently, it was transported from Kanchipuram to Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. From there, it was brought to Ayodhya ten days ago via a ceremonial chariot procession (*Rath Yatra*). The Ram Yantra weighs 150 kilograms and features a gold plating.
