Donning a cream kurta and dhoti, PM climbed up 32 steps to enter the temple premises around 12.06pm, and walked through five "mandaps" (halls),decorated with yellow and saffron marigold flowers, carrying a silver "chattar" (umbrella) placed on a red folded dupatta as chants of "Jai Shri Ram" reverberated through the crowd. He later took "sankalp" (pledge) for the "Pran Pratishtha" (consecration ceremony) and moved to the sanctum sanctorum of the grand temple around 12.10pm to offer the first prayers to the deity.
