Ayodhya, Jan 22: In the midst of lavish celebrations in the town on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the rites that dedicated the new Ram Lalla statue at the recently built temple here. The prime minister entered the temple grounds while wearing a red dupatta that had been folded and a silver “chattar,” or umbrella. He took “sankalp” for the “pran pratishtha ceremony,” wearing a golden kurta with a cream dhoti and patka, and then proceeded to the sanctum sanctorum for the rites. During the ceremonies, the chief minister Yogi Adityanath, governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel, and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat were also present inside the sanctorum.When the temple was dedicated, petals from flowers were dropped onto the grounds by army helicopters. Everyone would be moved by the amazing occasion of Shri Ram Lala’s life being dedicated in Ayodhya Dham. It gives me enormous joy to be involved in this magnificent programme. Modi exclaimed, “Hail Siya Ram!” on X. After the event, Modi will speak to the crowd. He has a scheduled visitation to the Kuber Tila as well. Additionally, he will converse with labourers involved in the temple’s construction.
