Ramlala Pratishtha Divas 2026 marks the sacred second anniversary of the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla, as Ayodhya once again becomes the spiritual heart of the nation. On 22 January 2026, devotees from across India and the world gather to honour a moment that symbolises unwavering faith, civilisational continuity, and the resurgence of Sanatan traditions in modern India.

The day commemorates the divine installation of Lord Ram in His child form—Ram Lalla—at His revered birthplace. Worshipped as Maryada Purushottam, Lord Ram’s child form evokes deep emotional and spiritual devotion, embodying innocence, purity, and cosmic wisdom, while reminding devotees of dharma, duty, and moral balance.

From centuries of historical struggle to a defining spiritual triumph, the journey of the Ram Temple stands as a testament to faith restored through perseverance and constitutional process. Ramlala Pratishtha Divas is not merely a commemoration—it is a reflection of India’s living spiritual heritage, resonating across generations.

Deepinder Goyal has stepped down as the Group CEO of Eternal, marking a major leadership transition at the publicly listed firm. Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa will take over as the new Group CEO.

Subject to shareholder approval, Goyal will continue on Eternal’s board as vice-chairman, ensuring continuity in strategic oversight while stepping away from day-to-day executive responsibilities.

Explaining his decision, Goyal said he was drawn towards pursuing higher-risk ideas and experimentation that are “better pursued outside a public company,” signalling a shift towards innovation beyond the constraints of listed-company governance.

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has observed that women in live-in relationships should not be left legally vulnerable and may, in appropriate cases, be accorded the status of a “wife” to ensure protection against exploitation.

Justice S. Srimathy, while hearing an anticipatory bail plea, noted that live-in relationships—though a “cultural shock” to traditional society—are now widely prevalent. Drawing a parallel with the ancient concept of Gandharva marriage, she said consensual relationships based on mutual love could not be ignored by law, especially when women suffer due to broken promises of marriage.

The Court cautioned against men exploiting legal grey areas by projecting modern values initially and later questioning a woman’s character once the relationship turns sour. Stressing the judiciary’s duty, the Bench said courts must protect women caught in the “modern web” of live-in relationships, ensuring they are not denied safeguards merely due to the absence of formal marriage.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday passed an interim order protecting the name, image, and identity of Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa from unauthorised online misuse, after he alleged that his photographs were being circulated on social media platforms to deceive people and commit financial fraud.

Justice Jyoti Singh restrained unidentified individuals and multiple social media entities from using Pahwa’s image, name, identity, and registration particulars without his consent, and directed the immediate takedown of the offending online content. The Court observed that Pahwa’s long-standing professional reputation gives rise to enforceable personality and publicity rights.

Pahwa, represented by Advocate Peeyoosh Kalra, asserted that his images were being misused on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to defraud unsuspecting persons, causing serious reputational harm. The suit, filed through Advocate Kunal Khanna, emphasised that Pahwa’s name and likeness carry independent proprietary value built over decades of ethical legal practice.

In an observation, the Madras High Court has underscored the need to legally protect women in live-in relationships by extending them the status and rights of a “wife” under the concept of Gandharva (love) marriage.

Justice S. Srimathy noted that even when a live-in relationship faces turbulence, women should not be left vulnerable or deprived of legal safeguards merely due to the absence of a formal marriage.

The remark adds to the evolving judicial discourse on live-in relationships, emphasizing dignity, security, and substantive rights for women beyond conventional marital frameworks.

In a significant ruling on the scope of State regulation over educational institutions and professionals, the Patna High Court has upheld the mandatory implementation of Aadhaar-linked facial recognition and GPS-based attendance for medical faculty, holding that the measure does not violate the fundamental right to privacy and serves a legitimate public purpose in regulating medical education.

The judgment, delivered by Justice Bibek Chaudhuri, assumes importance when read alongside a recent decision of the Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench), which struck down a State order directing the closure of an unrecognised madarsa, holding that regulatory non-compliance cannot justify executive overreach, particularly where constitutional protection applies.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking an apology from news channel Aaj Tak and its senior anchor Anjana Om Kashyap for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of the Valmiki community by referring to Sage Valmiki as a former dacoit during a broadcast.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sanjiv Berry questioned the very basis of the petition, emphasizing that narratives surrounding Valmiki are rooted in mythology rather than documented history.

The petition was filed after a broadcast last year stated that Sage Valmiki was once a dacoit before his spiritual transformation. The petitioner sought an apology and the removal of the broadcast videos from the internet, contending that such references hurt religious sentiments.

On January 20, 2026, US President Donald Trump sparked fresh geopolitical debate after posting an image on Truth Social showing Canada and Greenland coloured in the red, white, and blue of the American flag. The post, shared without any caption, came amid Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland and growing friction with European allies over tariffs, Arctic strategy, and security concerns.

According to media reports, the visual symbolism of the map—appearing to fold Canada and Greenland into US territory—quickly drew global attention. While no formal policy announcement accompanied the post, its timing coincided with heightened diplomatic tensions, including disagreements with French President Emmanuel Macron, raising questions about Washington’s broader intentions in the Arctic region.

European leaders have firmly rejected any suggestion of a US takeover of Greenland, with France participating in NATO-led military exercises in the region. Public reaction online was swift and critical, with commentators warning that such imagery risks normalising ideas of territorial expansion. The White House, however, has reiterated Trump’s view that Greenland holds strategic importance for US and global security, even as transatlantic unease continues to grow.

Greater Noida Police on Tuesday arrested builder Abhay Kumar, owner of MZ Wishtown in the Knowledge Park area, in connection with the death of a Noida-based software engineer whose car plunged into a water-filled pit. The arrest was made by the Knowledge Park police station team after the builder was named in the FIR following a preliminary investigation into the incident.

The victim, 27-year-old Yuvraj, was returning home to Tata Eureka Park in Sector 150, Greater Noida, from his office in Gurugram when his speeding Grand Vitara fell into a water-filled pit late Friday night amid dense fog. The car overturned and began floating due to the high water level. Yuvraj managed to exit the vehicle and called his father, Rajkumar Mehta, but drowned despite repeated cries for help and a prolonged rescue operation conducted in his father’s presence.

The incident triggered administrative action, with the Uttar Pradesh government removing Noida Authority CEO M. Lokesh from his post. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognisance of the matter, ordered a three-member SIT to probe the circumstances leading to the death, and sought a detailed report within five days, as questions mount over safety lapses and accountability.
