For this, the idol of Arun Yogiraj has been finalized which will be of dark complexion. According to Ram Mandir Trust, the Ram Lala immovable idol has been made 51 inches tall, in which Shri Ram is seated on a lotus in the form of a 5 year old child. The height of the idol along with the lotus flower will be 8 feet. The idol is shown standing, with Ram Ji holding a bow in his hands.
