"A link will be shared with the invitees before the ceremony. Once they register themselves, a bar code will be generated which will act as the entry pass," Sharma said.
The invitation letter, duly signed by Champat Rai, read: "You are aware that after a long drawn struggle, the construction of temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi is in progress, and on Paush Shukla Dwadashi, Vikram Samvat 2080, Monday, 22 January, 2024, the new idol of Ram Lalla will be consecrated in the sanctum sanctorum."Â
