Veteran BJP leader LK Advani, a key figure in the Ram Mandir movement, will miss today's 'Pran Pratishtha' at Ayodhya's Ram Temple due to extreme cold weather. The 96-year-old leader, along with Murli Manohar Joshi, had earlier been deemed unlikely to attend due to health concerns. Despite conflicting reports, Advani's absence is confirmed. Meanwhile, Ayodhya is adorned for the grand ceremony, with PM Narendra Modi set to lead the rituals. Tight security, including 13,000 forces, anti-bomb squads, and snipers, has been deployed. Traffic diversions and parking arrangements for 20,000 vehicles mark the preparations for this historic event.
