PM Modi has given checkmate to those declining invitation to Pran Pratishtha ceremony: Sonu Nigam

Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 21 (ANI): Popular singer Sonu Nigam shared his views about those who have declined the invitation to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. He called himself fortunate to receive it.
Talking about a few leaders declining the invitation, he told ANI, "They have been given checkmate. They have been invited but if they come, it will be difficult for them. If they don't come, even then it would be difficult for them. This happens in politics, so I won't blame them. Politically speaking, PM Modi has given them a checkmate..."
Calling the entire ceremony an "emotional" moment, he added, "This is a very emotional moment. I am happy that there is joy and enthusiasm in the world wherever there is Sanatana Dharma. It feels great that we can see this, that God chose us to be born in an era when such an event is taking place. I am one of the fortunate people who have received an invitation..."
Previously, actor Vivek Oberoi also talked about the Pran Pratishtha ceremony and said, "I have come to Ayodhya for the first time and it feels that if you breathe here, 'Ram Bhakti' will get in you. There is much so of energy here. People are so happy. There is a wave of 'bhakti' here and there is a lot of curiosity among people that Ram Lalla is returning to Ayodhya after 500 years. I think Lord Ram has always connected people and society..."
Talking about the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, all the arrangements are being made for the special occasion. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust announced on Sunday that the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony will be marked by a dazzling musical event titled 'Mangal Dhwani'.
With just a day left for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, people from all over the country and across the world are arriving in the city.
Vedic rituals for the Pran-Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya began on January 16, a week before the main ceremony.
The idol of Ram Lalla was placed in the 'Garbha Griha' of the Ram Temple on Thursday amid joyous chants of 'Jai Shri Ram.'
The idol is 51 inches tall and weighs 1.5 tonnes. The idol portrays Lord Ram as a five-year-old child standing on a lotus also crafted from the same stone.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will perform rituals marking the 'Pran Pratishtha'. A team of pandits led by Varanasi priest Lakshmi Kant Dixit will officiate the main rituals during the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony. (ANI)
