Whereas Ganesh Bhatt is making the idol from black stones of Nellikaru rock of Karnataka. Nellikaru rocks are also known as Shyam Shila or Krishna Shila. His complexion is dark like Lord Ram and Krishna.

Then they will be taken on a city tour in a chariot. Ram Lalla will be taken out on a grand chariot in a grand manner in the periphery of Panchkosi. After this, the idol of Ramlala will be kept in water, fruits and food for one day each, which in the language of rituals is called Jaladhivas, Phaladhivas and Annadhivas.
The program will be held under the supervision of scholars from Kashi.
