The first photo of the Ram Lalla idol, crafted in an artist's workshop and set to be consecrated in the Ram Temple at Ayodhya, has been released, showing the deity as a 5-year-old child in a standing posture. This release, which has been showcased through exclusive photos accessed by India Today TV, comes ahead of the temple's consecration ceremony. The depiction has led to controversy as Congress MP Digvijaya Singh cited his guru's preference for the idol to be seated in mother Kaushalya's lap, in contrast to the standing position. The Ram temple's chief priest has called for a probe after the full-face photo of the Ram Lalla idol went viral.
