Why was January 22 chosen for the Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony?

January 22 is the Dwadashi date of Shukla Paksha of Pausha month in the Hindu calendar. According to mythology, it is the same day when Lord Vishnu took the form of a tortoise to help Amrit Manthan(Ocean Churning). 

Other than this, the date falls in the Mrigashira Nakshatra constituting three auspicious yogas, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Amrit Siddhi Yoga and Ravi Yoga. Hence, January 22 holds great cultural, mythological and astronomical significance.
