Surya Tilak: The moment the Sun kissed Ram Lalla’s forehead and lit it up

The country saw the nation’s first Ram Mandir at Ayodhya during Ram Navami. During the occasion, a beam of sunshine illuminated the forehead of the idol of Ram Lalla. “Surya Tilak” is the name of the sunshine beam that is reported to kiss the forehead of Ram Lalla’s idol. To create this rare phenomenon, ten scientists collaborated.

To ensure that the idol’s forehead receives a 5.8 cm beam of sunlight, scientists created a unique device. On April 17, the incident started around noon and lasted for about three minutes. To ensure the event’s success, a system of mirrors and lenses was created.
