As everyone is getting excited about Lord Ram’s Pran Pratishtha at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, some of you might be wondering what Pran Pratishtha is. Well, you can scroll down to learn all about this ritual from our expert, Astrologer Dr Aarti Dahiya.

What Is Pran Pratishtha And Its Significance?

The Pran Pratishtha is the process of consecrating an idol, i.e., establishing the life form of the deity in the idol itself. Before performing the Pran Pratishtha of any idol in your home, you are advised to consult with an astrology expert so that you can gain auspicious benefits from it.

It is believed that installing an idol and doing its Pran Pratishtha brings you the complete and auspicious results of worshipping it.

How Is Pran Pratishtha Done?

While there are many rituals associated with this process, generally, it is done by chanting several Mantras, performing the Abhisheka of that idol and worshipping the Lord.

Many things like Shubh Muhurat, favourable planetary positions, etc., are to be kept in mind for performing this sacred ritual.

Things To Keep In Mind During Pran Pratishtha

• One thing that you must take care of while performing the Pran Pratishtha of any idol is the cleanliness of the idol (Deets About Ramlala's Idol), the worship place, and yourself.

• Another thing you should take into consideration is the auspicious timing to perform the ritual and for that, you are advised to talk to a skilled astrologer. For example, the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram will be done during the Abhijeet Muhurta.
• Also, you and your family members should refrain from consuming any Tamasic food item on that day to avoid losses and inauspicious effects.

How Long Is The Procedure Of Pran Pratishtha?

Usually, it takes about four to five hours including all the rituals that are to be followed for Pran Pratishtha (Detailed Ramlala Pran Pratishtha Puja Vidhi) of an idol. However, it can take more time depending on the customs associated with the consecration of different Gods and Goddesses as described in the scriptures.
