As it prepares for the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Lalla temple in January 2024, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has started the process including appointment of priests for the temple.
Reportedly, around 3,000 candidates had applied for the posts of priests at the Ram temple in Ayodhya after the Ram Mandir Teerth Kshetra Trust advertised the vacancies. Of these, 200 candidates were selected for interview on the basis of merit, PTI quoted an official as saying.
The 200 candidates who have been selected are facing interviews at Karsevak Puram, the headquarters of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Ayodhya. The three-member interview panel includes Hindu preacher Jaikant Mishra from Vrindavan and two monks from Ayodhya - Mithilesh Nandini Sharan and Satyanarayan Das.
Ultimately a total of 20 candidates will be selected.
The candidates who will be selected will be ordained as priests after six months of residential training and posted at various posts. Trust treasurer Govind Dev Giri told PTI that those who are not selected will participate in training and will be given certificates.
