Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, demands an investigation after the first image of the new Ram Lalla idol leaks online ahead of the Ayodhya temple's consecration on January 22. Expressing concern, Das emphasizes that the idol's eyes should not be revealed before the pran pratishtha rituals. Officials suspect the leak was done by those involved in temple construction and contemplate action against them. The 51-inch idol, carved in black stone, was placed in the sanctum sanctorum on Thursday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the consecration ceremony.
