''The current atmosphere mirrors the jubilation that prevailed when Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after triumphing over Lanka centuries ago. Similar to Diwali, the nation is expected to be immersed in a celebratory spirit on January 22, the day of Ram Lalla's 'pran pratishtha','' he said.

The consecration ceremony at the temple will be held on January 22.
