PM Modi had been observing a series of strict 11-day religious rituals in preparation for the consecration ceremony.
According to a statement from his office, he will also address the gathering on this occasion. The historic Pran Pratishtha ceremony will be attended by representatives from all major spiritual and religious sects in the country. Additionally, people from various walks of life, including representatives of tribal communities, will be present at the ceremony.
Following the grand ceremony, the Prime Minister will interact with the laborers who have been involved in the construction of the Ram Temple.
He will also visit Kuber Tila, where the ancient temple of Lord Shiva has been restored.
The streets and skyline of Ayodhya are adorned with saffron flags flying from buildings of all sizes. Cut-outs of the Ram Temple, along with Lord Ram, have been placed at Lata Mangeshkar Chowk.
Last week, the new idol of Ram Lalla, sculpted by Arun Yogiraj, was installed inside the temple. The idol depicts Ram Lalla as a five-year-old standing on a lotus.
