Ram Temple Trust's general secretary, Champat Rai, confirmed, "Both are elders of the family, and considering their age, they were requested not to come, which was accepted by both." LK Advani, 96, and MM Joshi, 90, founding members of BJP, won't attend the Ayodhya temple consecration. PM Modi is set to attend on January 22, with former PM HD Deve Gowda invited. Rai added, "Shankaracharyas of six darshanas and around 150 saints and sages will participate." Celebrities like Dalai Lama, Rajnikanth, and Amitabh Bachchan are also invited.
