Appreciation post for all three sculptors: Arun Yogiraj, Ganesh Bhatt & Satyanarayan Pandey.
The Ram Mandir will feature four idols of Ram Lalla. The main idol, sculpted by Arun Yogiraj Mysore, represents the deity at the age of 5 and is placed in the sanctum sanctorum. The other two idols, crafted by Ganesh Bhatt and Satyanarayan Pandey, are made from unique stones – Krishna Shila from Karnataka and white Makrana marble from Rajasthan, respectively.
Ganesh Bhatt's idol, carved from Krishna Shila, stands out with its black stone from Hegadadevana Kote in Karnataka. Satyanarayan Pandey's white marble idol depicts Ram Lalla holding a golden bow and arrow, surrounded by smaller sculptures of various Lord Vishnu incarnations.
The temple trust decided that one idol would be in the sanctum sanctorum, while the other two by Bhatt and Satyanarayan Pandey would be placed elsewhere in the Ram Mandir. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
