Karnataka-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj created the Ram Lalla idol for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and considers himself the luckiest person in the world. He told news agency ANI,
“I feel that I am the happiest person in the world right now. The blessings of my ancestors, family members and Lord Rama Lalla were always with me. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a dream world.”

The idol was installed in the temple last week and depicts Ram Lalla as a five-year-old standing on a lotus.
