On 22 January, the most awaited event, i.e., pran pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla will take place in Ayodhya Ram Mandir where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be the chief guest. This event will be witnessed by 7,000 plus dignitaries, celebrities, politicians, industrialists, and spiritual leaders.

In the religious scriptures, it has been mentioned that Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Rama, who is a very significant deity in Hinduism and one of them is Ramcharitmanas.

Ramcharitmanas has been written in Chaupais (quatrain verse) and therefore, reciting them on the Pran Pratishtha day of Lord Rama is said to bring happiness and prosperity to a person's life.

What Is Ramayan Chaupai?

Ramayan Chaupai, a collection of verses or couplets dedicated to Lord Rama, holds immense significance in Hindu culture. Composed in the vernacular Awadhi language by the revered Hindu sage Tulsidas. The core of his work is said to be a poetic retelling of the events of the Ramayana, which is a Sanskrit epic by Valmiki. The story is centered on the narrative of Rama, the scion of the family tree of King Raghu of the Sun Dynasty, his wife Sita, and brother Lakshman.

The recitation of Ramayan Chaupai is considered spiritually uplifting. The verses encapsulate the virtues, values, and righteous principles exemplified by Lord Rama. By reflecting on these teachings, individuals strive to cultivate a sense of righteousness, compassion, and devotion in their own lives.
