The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has sent invitations to 7,000 people, including 3,000 VVIPs, for the consecration ceremony. Arun Govil, an actor well known for portraying Lord Ram in the hit television series "Ramayan," has also been invited to the event.

The chief guest of the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will carry out the ceremonies at the Ram Temple's sanctum sanctorum at approximately 12:15 p.m. as part of the pran pratishtha (consecration) ceremony. Mohan Bhagwat, the leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is likely to join PM Modi on stage.
“The Trust is also trying to invite one representative each from 50 foreign countries,” Trust’s general secretary Champat Rai told reporters.
"Family members of the 50 kar sevaks who lost their lives during the Ram temple movement have also been invited. Invitations have also been sent to judges, scientists, writers and poets," it added.
Saints, priests, Shankaracharya, religious leaders, ex-public servants, retired Army officers, attorneys, musicians, Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan winners, and former civil servants have all received invitations.
