Nation watches with amazement as Surya Tilak takes place
This is first Ramanavami after mandir inauguration
Indeed, sun meets science and spirituality
In a momentous display of celestial grace, the Sun’s rays adorned the forehead of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir on the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami. This remarkable phenomenon, akin to a ‘surya tilak’, unfolded at precisely 12:01 pm, captivating onlookers for around two to two-and-a-half minutes. Crafted with meticulous precision, the tilak measured approximately 58 mm, marking a profound milestone on the first Ram Navami following the pran pratishtha of Lord Ram’s idol at the newly inaugurated temple on January 22.

We should also acknowledge the intricate mechanics of this divine spectacle. Here, the collaborative expertise of scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IIT-R), and Bengaluru-based Optics & Allied Engineering is worth mentioning. Their partnership led to the creation of an apparatus which was crafted with high-quality mirrors, lenses, and brass and bronze components, embodying the pinnacle of precision engineering.
Prior to the event, as many as two successful trials were conducted. These ensured the seamless execution of the Surya Abhishek ceremony. The gearbox, ingeniously engineered to direct sunlight into the sanctum sanctorum, symbolizes the convergence of ancient tradition with modern technology.
As Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir basks in the glory of this historic event, Bengaluru’s contribution stands as a testament to the harmonious synthesis of innovation and spirituality, uniting diverse corners of India in reverence for Lord Ram.
