Preparation for ‘Surya Abhishek’ of Ramlala on 17th April

Ayodhya: A large number of devotees are expected to arrive in Ayodhya on the occasion of Ram Navami (April 17) to witness Surya Abhishek, when the sun’s rays fall on their foreheads. Experts from the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) along with scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics-Bengaluru are already camping in Ayodhya to install an opto-mechanical system on the ground floor of the temple. Suryavanshi king Ram Lala of Ayodhya is expected to be gifted ‘Surya Abhishek’ on April 17 at noon, an event through which the sun’s rays will be captured and diverted by a series of optical instruments. The standard optomechanical setup is a Fabry-Pérot cavity, where a mirror is dynamic, so as to maximize the response of the optical system to the input laser. Using a Fabry-Perot cavity (named after the French physicists Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, who developed it in 1897), the sun’s rays are aligned with utmost precision to illuminate the forehead of the Lord at exactly noon on Ram Navami. Will be directed with. For four minutes, the sun’s rays will shine on Ramlala’s forehead in a circular shape up to 75 mm wide. The original plan of the Ram Mandir Trust was to start the process after the completion of the temple construction, but following the request of the saints, CBRI scientists volunteered to arrange the ‘Surya Abhishek’ on the first Ram Navami in the newly constructed temple . Temple Trust member Anil Mishra said a team of scientists and experts has been working on the project since Sunday night. After measuring the distance between the forehead of Ram Lalla idol and the sanctum sanctorum, the scientists strategically placed stickers at the points where the mirrors and equipment would be placed.
