Stage Collapses At Bihar Event As Leader Criticises 'Pran Prathistha' At Ram Temple. Video Goes Viral

The event was going on smoothly and it suddenly took a drastic turn when the speaker started criticising the date of the consecration ceremony.

New Delhi: A stage during a public event collapsed in Bihar on Thursday after one of the speakers started criticising the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya Ram Temple on January 22.

According to reports, the incident took place during a public programme in Gaya. The leaders took part in the event to observe the 51st death anniversary of freedom fighter Abdul Qaum Ansari.

The event was going on smoothly and it suddenly took a drastic turn when the speaker started criticising the date of the consecration ceremony. Among those present on the stage was former MP Ali Anwar.

As the stage collapsed, seven to eight people, including Anwar Ali, who were on the stage tumbled over and sustained minor injuries.

The video of the incident went viral on social media. However, ABP Live could not independently check the veracity of the video.

Meanwhile, the Ram temple has been decorated with "rich stocks" of flowers and special lights as the temple town is gearing up for the grand even on Monday.

"These are all natural flowers and due to winter can last longer. So they will remain fresh on the day of the consecration ceremony. The fragrance and the aesthetic appeal of these vibrant flowers have lent another layer of divinity to the temple," news agency PTI quoted one of its sources as saying.

Amid chanting of Vedic verses, the new 51-inch idol of Ram Lalla (Lord Ram in his childhood), carved by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj, was installed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram temple on Thursday afternoon. The idol was brought there on a truck a day earlier.

The 'Pran Pratishtha' at the Ram temple will take place on January 22. The grand event will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a host of other dignitaries.
