PM Modi clad in traditional attire and reached the sanctum sanctorum of the Ayodhya Ram Temple. Following this, he will go on to address a rally in the temple town. The Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony, with the Prime Minister at its helm, also symbolizes the fulfilment of a longstanding promise to the Indian people. 

Pran Pratistha is the act which transforms an idol into a deity, giving it the capacity to accept prayers and grant boons. For this, the statue has to go through various stages.  The number of steps involved will depend on the scale of the ceremony.
