Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha: After more than 500 years of struggle in the country, the moment has finally come for which crores of Hindus were waiting. Today, with the consecration of Ramlala’s life in Ayodhya, the curiosity of crores of Indians for the construction of Ram temple will end. The color of the idol of Lord Ram present in the Ram temple is dark. In such a situation, many people ask this question, why is the idol of Lord Ram made black? Let us know it in detail.
Description of Rama’s dark form in Valmiki Ramayana
In Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Rama’s appearance has been described as dark complexioned. For this reason, the idol of Ramlala is made of black stone which is called ‘Shila’. This stone is also known as ‘Krishna Shila’ for centuries. This stone has many properties hence it is considered very special. For example, when Ramlala is anointed with milk, there will be no change in the quality of the milk due to the stone. He can also use milk and it will not affect his health. Not only this, this stone will remain the same for thousands of years.

According to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the idol of Lord Ramlala that has been prepared is in the form of a five year old child. The height of the idol is 51 inches, which also depicts multiple incarnations of the Lord.
