Why is Ram Lalla being installed in Ayodhya?

The main reason why Ram Lalla is being installed in Ayodhya? This is because Ayodhya is a city where lord ram was born, hence his child form is installed at Ayodhya Ram Mandir. In Hindu culture, kids who are five or younger are seen as innocent. After five they are considered capable of understanding things. According to scholars like Chanakya, mistakes made by a child under 5 are forgiven because of their purity.

Even our scriptures celebrate the childhood of lord ram and other divine men till they reach the age of five. The installation of the idol of lord Rama at the age of 5 seems very timely and accurate in representing his innocent form.

Ram Lalla’s murti is black

Some people might think that is why Ram Lalla’s statue is made of black stone. The answer is Ram Lalla’s statue is made from Shaligram stone, from which the idols of God and goddesses of Hindu religion are made. It is considered a holy stone. Shaligrams are black-colored, smooth, and oval-shaped stones. According to religious texts, Shaligrams are the idol form of lord Vishnu. This is a type of fossil stone. Shaligram’s stone is usually collected from the bottom or banks of the holy river.
