Vedic Brahmins and revered Acharyas were seen leading worship ceremonies inside the sacred precincts of the Sri Ram Temple. According to the VHP, members of the Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra also participated in the prayers.

The Ram Lalla idol has been crafted by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj, which weighs approximately 150-200 kg. Arun Yogiraj’s unwavering loyalty and love for Lord Rama are exemplified by his iconic and perfect idol to be placed in the shrine despite he braved pain in the eye due to an injury and endured sleepless nights. The idol portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus also crafted from the same stone.
