The honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be conducting the consecration ritual. Ram Lalla's effigy displays various religious emblems such as Om, Ganesh, Chakra, Sankh, Gada, Swastik, and Kamala Nayan. The inaugural image of the Ram Lalla effigy was unveiled three days prior to the 'Pran Pratishtha' observance. The statue, chiseled from ebony stone, has its eyes veiled by a yellow fabric and is embellished with a garland of roses, as conveyed by Sharad Sharma, a representative of the Vishva Hindu Parishad. In the photograph circulated by VHP, Ram Lalla is depicted in an upright posture.

This was executed amidst the recitation of prayers, as stated by the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust. Dixit affirmed that the 'pradhan sankalp' was performed by Anil Mishra, a trust member.
