AYODHYA, INDIA July 27, 2026 (Nagaland Post): The Ram temple trust’s decision to establish a permanent institute for training and certifying Hindu priests is being seen by religious leaders and members of the Indian diaspora as a significant step towards addressing the growing demand for qualified archaks (priests) not only in India but also overseas. The proposal on July 22, following a meeting of the trust in Ayodhya, envisages a dedicated training center, where priests will receive formal instruction in the performance of Hindu rituals before being certified by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Religious leaders say the proposed institute could help standardize priestly training at a time when temples, religious institutions, and Hindu families increasingly seek priests well-versed in scriptural traditions and ritual practices.
