The idol of Ram Lalla or infant Lord Ram found a home on Monday with a Pran Pratishtha ceremony by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the new Ayodhya temple. The stone used to create the 51-inch idol is special black granite brought all the way from Karnataka.

"The stone is 2.5 billion years old," confirms HS Venkatesh, Director of the National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM), Bengaluru, the national facility that helped in testing the stone using physico-mechanical analysis. The NIRM is the nodal agency to test rocks for Indian dams and nuclear power plants.

Dr Venkatesh says, "The rock is highly durable and resistant to climatic variation and will sustain thousands of years in this subtropical zone with minimum maintenance."

Most granitic rocks formed when molten lava cooled down after the earth was formed. The granite is a very hard material.

The Ram Temple has been constructed using traditional architectural designs and highest quality stones, yet it incorporates modern science and engineering techniques to make it durable, says Union Science Minister Jitendra Singh. "It has been designed to last for more than 1,000 years," he adds.

The stone was chosen from the village Jayapura Hobli in Mysuru district, a region known for high quality granite mines.

The rock is dated to the pre-Cambrian era, which is estimated to have begun some four billion plus years ago. The earth is estimated to have originated some 4.5 billion years ago. The black granite rock from which the Ram Lalla statue has been sculpted has seen at least half or more of earth's history.

Early humans appeared on earth about 14 million years ago and the humans as we see today - the species Homo sapiens - are only 300,000 years old. Scientists estimate that life originated on earth some 4 billion years ago.

The stone was carved into a beautiful idol by 38-year-old Arun Yogiraj from Mysuru, who belongs to a family of five generations of sculptors. It took him about six months to craft the Ram Lala statue. Among his other well-known masterpieces is the 30-feet black stone statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at India Gate in Delhi.

The NIRM, which helped assess the granite block with its testing laboratories at Kolar Gold Fields, told Nripendra Misra, chairperson of the temple construction committee, that the rock was "massive, melanocratic and uniform in colour". The stone is fine-grained, hard, compact and has high compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength, breaking strength and elasticity.

The rock's qualities make it amenable for any kind of carving, Dr Venkatesh says. "In addition the rock possess high density, low porosity and water absorption with high P wave velocity, it is devoid of any internal cracks and fractures."

After a 50-year endeavor by the BJP and eagerly anticipated by many, the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya is set to occur today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to fly to Ayodhya to partake in the live-televised ceremony.

Here are the key developments in this momentous event:

The consecration ceremony will be commemorated nationwide, with special prayers and diverse programs at local temples. The event is likened to Diwali, symbolizing Lord Ram’s triumphant return after defeating Ravan. Festive lighting adorns temples and homes in celebration.

Prime Minister Modi, after observing strict 11-day religious rituals in preparation, will lead the noon ceremony and address the gathering, as stated by his office.

The historic Pran Pratishtha ceremony will witness the participation of representatives from major spiritual and religious sects across the country, along with people from diverse walks of life, including tribal communities.

PM Modi will engage with the laborers responsible for constructing the Ram temple and visit Kuber Tila, where the ancient temple of Lord Shiv has been meticulously restored.

The grand 380x250 feet temple follows the traditional north-Indian Nagara style, featuring 392 pillars, 44 doors, and intricately carved walls depicting various gods and goddesses. The sanctum sanctorum houses the idol of a five-year-old Lord Ram, while the nearby Kuber Tila and ancient well (Sita koop) add to the historical significance.

Leaders from the BJP and its ideological mentor, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, have already assembled in Ayodhya to oversee the preparations for over 11,000 anticipated visitors.

The opening of the Ram temple, a focal point of a prolonged political debate, has been met with indifference by most Opposition parties, including the Congress, Left, Trinamool Congress, and the Samajwadi Party. The BJP, in response, criticizes them as anti-Hindu and predicts repercussions at the polls.

Controversies have arisen, including dissent from the Shankaracharyas of four premier monasteries, who are staying away, claiming that the consecration of an incomplete temple cannot be valid. They question the political angle associated with PM Modi being inside the sanctum sanctorum, while they have been allocated seats outside.
