With the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya just hours away, criticism arises from Hindu religious leaders, the Shankaracharyas. Two of the four pontiffs express dissatisfaction, questioning the timing of the pran pratistha before the temple's completion and the political angle to the event. Chairman Nripendra Misra responds, highlighting completion of the ground floor with Ram Lalla and the garba griha but acknowledges the first floor, Ram Darbar, remains unfinished. Misra assures devotees a step-by-step 'darshan' process. The controversy unfolds amidst last-minute preparations for this historic event.
