Devotees to have access to entire 70-acre Ram temple complex after Oct
It will take around three to four hours for a pilgrim to visit other temples spread around the Ram Janmabhoomi complex. Construction work of the main Ram temple is over and now the remaining 14 temples are in the final stages of completion.
According to Anil Mishra, a member of the Trust, devotees would be able to visit the entire Ram Janmabhoomi campus after October this year. 'Around 90 percent work of remaining temples spread across the Ram Janmabhoomi is complete,' he added.
Out of four entry gates in Ram temple, construction work of two is over. Construction work of the temple is almost complete with Ram Lalla installed on the ground floor and his family on the first floor in Ram Darbar. The second floor will house rare and significant scriptures related to Lord Ram, said Trust general secretary Champat Rai.
According to the Trust, a flag-hoisting ceremony is likely to take place at the Ram temple in November. The flag will be hoisted atop the 161-foot-high spire of the temple. Flags will be hoisted on the spires of all other temples within the complex.
Pushkarni and Panchavati
The Ram temple complex will encompass several notable features including:
Pushkarni: A sacred water tank, centrally located within the Saptarishi (seven sages) area.
Panchavati: A natural area that will be preserved in its original state, allowing animals and birds to benefit from the surroundings.
Saptarishi Mandap
The Ram Janmabhoomi complex has a Saptarishi Mandap which comprises seven temples dedicated to sages from the Ramayana.
These temples house idols of seers and devotees who played significant roles in Lord Rama's life. They include Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Agastya, Maharishi Vashistha, Nishad Raj, Ahilya and Shabari.
Other temples in Ram Janmabhoomi
In addition to the Saptarishi temples, six other temples dedicated to various deities are under construction on the Ram Janmabhoomi campus. They are dedicated to Lord Shiva, Sun God, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Goddess Bhagwati and Goddess Annapurna. An idol of Lakshman, in his Sheshavatar form, will also be consecrated in the Sheshavatar Temple.

Nag Panchami 2025: Puja Vidhi, Muhurat & Powerful Remedies for Rahu-Ketu Dosha
Nag Panchami is a sacred festival in Sanatan Dharma, observed to honor the divine serpent energies known as Nagas. These serpents are not ordinary beings; they are carriers of cosmic forces that influence human destiny. Our scriptures describe them as protectors of hidden treasures, guardians of karma, and powerful entities connected to the planets Rahu and Ketu. Worshipping Nag Devta on this day helps remove serpent-related doshas, protects one's home, and blesses the family with peace and prosperity. In the Puranas, it is mentioned that Lord Shiva adorns the serpent Vasuki, symbolising mastery over fear and poison. Offering prayers to the Nagas on this day invokes their blessings and pacifies any malefic influence of Rahu and Ketu. Puja Timing & Rituals for 2025 According to the Hindu Panchang, the festival of Nag Panchami is celebrated every year on the Panchami Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the holy month of Shravan. For the year 2025, the Panchami Tithi will begin on 28 July 2025 at 11:24 PM and end on 30 July 2025 at 12:46 AM. Based on the Panchang, this sacred festival will be observed on 29 July 2025. Simple Puja Vidhi for Nag Panchami 2025 Wake up early during the Brahma Muhurat, bathe, and wear clean traditional clothes. Prepare the puja space and place an idol or picture of Nag Devta. Offer flowers, turmeric, sandalwood, and akshat (unbroken rice) to the deity. Pour milk mixed with honey over the idol or at an anthill where Nagas are believed to reside. Light a ghee lamp, offer incense, and chant mantras like 'Om Namah Shivaya'. Recite Rahu and Ketu mantras with devotion. End the puja with an aarti and distribute prasad to family members. Performing this Puja Vidhi during the auspicious time ensures blessings and protection from serpent-related troubles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Rahu-Ketu Dosha & Its Effects In astrology, Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets, yet their influence is powerful and transformative. Rahu represents desires, illusions, and sudden events, while Ketu relates to past life karma, detachment, and spiritual liberation. When these planets are placed unfavorably in the horoscope, they create Rahu-Ketu dosha (also called Sarpa dosha), leading to various life challenges. Common effects of Rahu-Ketu dosha include: Repeated obstacles in career or business. Disputes over property and sudden financial instability. Delay or problems in marriage and relationships. Health issues that remain unresolved. Mental stress and constant dissatisfaction despite hard work. For those engaged in property dealing, land businesses, or activities related to real estate, the energy of Rahu and Ketu becomes even more significant. Pacifying these planets on Nag Panchami can remove many hurdles. Special Remedies & Mantras Performing Rahu Ketu remedies on Nag Panchami is considered highly auspicious. These remedies, rooted in ancient tradition, help balance planetary influences and bring peace. Offer Milk to Nag Devta: On Nag Panchami, pour milk at a snake temple or anthill to honor the Nagas. Chant Rahu Mantra: 'Om Bhram Bhreem Bhroum Sah Rahave Namah' – chant 108 times to calm Rahu's malefic effects. Chant Ketu Mantra: 'Om Sraam Sreem Sroum Sah Ketave Namah' – chant 108 times to seek Ketu's blessings. Donate Black Items: Giving black sesame seeds, mustard oil, or a black cloth to the needy pacifies Rahu. Worship Lord Shiva: Abhishek of the Shivlinga with milk, water, and bilva leaves, while reciting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, is especially powerful. These remedies, when performed with faith, reduce the effects of Rahu-Ketu dosha and enhance spiritual protection. Dos & Don'ts on Nag Panchami Observing certain customs on this sacred day ensures that the puja gives full results. Dos: Offer milk, flowers, and turmeric to Nag Devta with a pure heart. Keep the house and puja space clean. Observe fasting or eat only saatvik food like fruits and milk. Show respect to snakes and all creatures. Don'ts: Do not dig the earth on this day. Avoid cutting vegetables or using sharp objects during puja hours. Do not consume alcohol, non-vegetarian food, garlic, or onion. Avoid speaking harsh words or creating conflicts.

Hariyali Teej 2025: Why And How We Celebrate This Day!
It is the happy season of monsoons when a number of festivals are celebrated in the country. In the northern India, Teej is observed with full gusto and fervour. This day is celebrated to welcome the season of monsoon where young girls, as well as married women, actively participate in the festivities. Teej is largely dedicated to the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Interestingly, there are three types of Teej—Hariyali, Kajari and Hartalika. The first one falls on the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Shraavana. The second one on the third day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada while the last one on the third day of the bright half of Bhadrapada respectively. This year Hariyali Teej is celebrated on July 27 which derives its name from the fact that during monsoons (Shraavan or Saawan) there is greenery everywhere, therefore it is called Haryali Teej—coming from the word Green (Hariyali). Married women usually observe fast on this day and await the moon sighting during the night. The legend has it that Hariyali Teej is marked to celebrate the reunification of Goddess Parvati with Lord Shiva. It is this day when Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as his wife (consort). It is believed that Goddess Parvati practiced austerity for a number of years and observed fast so that she becomes the wife of Lord Shiva. And finally her dedication won over Shiva and she accepted by the supreme lord as his better half in her 108th birth. The goddess is also revered and prayed upon this day as the Teej Mata. In the northern part of the country, on this day married daughters get many gifts from their mothers. It is the day when gifts float in the form of colourful bangles, new bright clothes, beautiful henna or mehendi. Also, a sweet named 'Ghewar' is sent to the married daughters on this day. All of these gift items are called Sindhara. Hariyali Teej is largely celebrated in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Chandigarh. Interestingly, on this day women and unmarried girls enjoy swing rides (where jhulas are set up under the trees or in the courtyard), apply mehendi, wear colourful bangles and pray to Goddess Parvati. Jhulan Festival: Coincidentally, Hariyali Teej and Jhulan festival fall on the same day. The swing festival of 'Jhulan Leela' known as the 'Jhulan Utsav' or 'Hindola Utsav' is related to Lord Krishna and Radha. It is celebrated at the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, also in several other places. The Jhulan festival is on till the Krishna Janmashtami, concluding only after 13 days. This festival is dedicated to Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha whereas on Hariyali Teej Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are revered. Also, in a diverse land like India, different communities practice different rituals associated with the same festival. Enjoy the essence of this day. Happy Teej and Jhulan utsav everyone!
