Why is the Ram Lalla Murti Black? Exploring the Reason.

The idol of Ramlalla is made from Nallikaru rocks, which is why it is black. This idol will remain the same for thousands of years.

There are other few reasons why the idol of Lord Rama in the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, is depicted in black color:

Scriptural References: The Valmiki Ramayana, a revered Hindu scripture, describes Lord Rama as having a "Shyamal roop," which can be interpreted as a darker complexion. While the exact meaning of "Shyamal" isn't universally agreed upon, it can signify a dark blue or black shade.

– Historical and Cultural Significance: Black stone, known as Shaligram Shila, is considered sacred in Hinduism and often used for idols of Lord Vishnu, with whom Lord Rama is closely associated. This type of stone is naturally black and smooth, adding to the idol's unique appearance.
