The idol of 'Ramlala' made by Karnataka's renowned sculptor Arun Yogiraj will be consecrated in the grand Ram temple built in Ayodhya. The idol of 'Ramlala' made by Yogiraj Arun has been finalized for consecration in the Ram temple on January 22. Arun Yogiraj, with a family background of five generations of renowned sculptors of Mysore, is currently the most sought-after sculptor in the country.
Who is Arun Yogiraj?
Shilpi's son Arun Yogiraj, 37, comes from a family of Mysuru palace craftsmen. Arun's father has also worked for Gayatri and Bhuvaneshwari temples. Yogiraj, who has studied MBA from Mysore University, is a fifth-generation sculptor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also appreciated Arun's talent.
Arun's father Yogiraj is also a skilled sculptor. His grandfather Basavanna Shilpi was patronized by the King of Mysore. Arun Yogiraj, who belongs to the same generation, was also involved in carving since childhood. After completing his MBA degree, he also worked in a private company but left the job in 2008 to become a sculptor. He has been inclined towards sculpture since childhood.
Demand for sculptor Arun Yogiraj is increasing across the country.
Arun is being searched in different states of the country due to the demand that statues of those who have achieved achievements due to Arun's skills should be erected. Let us tell you that the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose installed at India Gate has also been carved by Arun. Ahead of the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, PM Modi wished that a statue of him be installed at India Gate to honor his contribution to the freedom struggle, which was supported by Arun Yogiraj.
He also presented a two-foot-tall statue of Subhash Chandra Bose to the Prime Minister and won his appreciation. Arun has already been honored by many organizations. The royal family of Mysore has also given special respect to his contribution.
Yogiraj has also built the statue of Adi Shankaracharya installed in Kedarnath. Apart from this, he has created the 14.5 feet white marble statue of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, the white marble statue of Maharaja Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar-IV and Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in Mysuru.
The Statue of Ramlala finalized for the Ram temple
According to the news agency ANI, three idols for the grand Ram temple have been created by three sculptors Ganesh Bhatt, Yogiraj, and Satyanarayan Pandey from three stones. In this, the statue of Satyanarayan Pandey is of white marble, while the remaining two statues are of blue stone from Karnataka. In this, the statue of Ganesh Bhatt was made in the style of South India. For this reason, the statue of Arun Yogiraj has been selected.
For the construction of the immovable idol of Ram Lalla, the Trust procured 12 high-quality stones from Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Orissa along with Nepal's Gandaki River. When all these stones were tested, only the rocks of Rajasthan and Karnataka were found suitable for making statues. Shyam Shila of Karnataka and the marble rock of Makrana of Rajasthan were chosen due to their special characteristics. Because Makrana stone is very hard and is best for carving.
Speaking to ANI, Yogiraj's mother Saraswati said, "This is the happiest moment for us. I wanted to see him carving and shaping Ram Lalla, but he said he would take me for darshan of the idol on the last day. Therefore, I am sitting with my eyes fixed on the idol on the day of its grand installation in the Ram temple."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to attend the consecration ceremony of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22. Preparations are going on in full swing for the event, which is expected to be attended by thousands of dignitaries and people from all sections of the society. The Vedic rituals for the consecration (Abhishek) ceremony of Ram Lalla (infant Lord Ram) in Ayodhya will begin on January 16, a week before the main ceremony.
According to ANI, Varanasi priest Laxmi Kant Dixit will perform the main ritual of Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony on January 22. Amrit Mahautsav will be celebrated in Ayodhya from 14 January to 22 January. It is being told that 1008 Hundi Mahayagya will also be organized, in which food will be provided to thousands of devotees. Several tent cities are being built in Ayodhya to accommodate thousands of devotees who are expected to reach the temple town in Uttar Pradesh for the grand consecration. According to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust, arrangements will be made for 10,000-15,000 people.
