Ayodhya Ram Mandir: The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra said on Monday that the Ram Lalla idol, which was sculpted by the well-known Karnataka artist Arun Yogiraj, will be dedicated in Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir on January 22.
Selection of the Idol
“The murti sculpted on Krishna Shila, by renowned sculptor Shri Arun Yogiraj, has been selected as Shri Vigraha of Bhagwan Shri Ramlalla Sarkar,” the Temple Trust said in a post on X. “He is a young, polite and cheerful young man. He also built the statues of Adi Shankaracharya in Kedarnath and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in Delhi’s India Gate,” Rai said.
Dedication of the Sculptor
“He was very focused on his work. He didn’t speak to his family and children for 15 days as he worked tirelessly,” he added. Former Karnataka BJP leader BS Yediyurappa had previously declared that the carved idol of Arun Yogiraj will be chosen for the Ram Mandir’s pran pratishtha.
“The idol of Lord Rama sculpted by the sculptor Arun Yogiraj of Mysuru has been selected for installation in the magnificent Sri Rama Mandir of Ayodhya, which has doubled the pride and happiness of the entire Rama devotees of the state. Heartfelt congratulations to ‘Shilpi @yogiraj_arun’,” the BJP leader had said.
