On Tuesday, Kashi’s Vedic Karmkand scholar Pt Laxmikant Mathuranath Dixit, who will lead the Vedic scholars and priests to consecrate Ram Lala idol at his birthplace,  said that PM Narendra Modi will be the main yajman of consecration rituals on January 22; according to TOI.

Dixit is the principal acharya of the ‘pran pratishtha’, which will be overseen, coordinated and anchored by Kashi scholar and priest Ganeshwar Shastri Dravid along with a team of 121 acharyas.

According to the report, as the PM can’t stay for a long time to complete the all rituals other people would be assisting him as yajman.

“Rituals prior to consecration had begun in the temple in Ayodhya and ‘jalyatra’ was in progress. I will join the team of Vedic scholars and Karmkandis (ritual priests), and ‘yajman prayashchit’ ritual will be performed on Wednesday,” Dixit was quoted as saying by TOI.

Dixit left for Ayodhya from his residence in Kashi on Tuesday.
