New Delhi, Mar 27: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday offered prayers to Lord Ram and virtually observed the Surya Tilak ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya on the occassion of Ram Navami.
\nThe Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya witnessed the \u2018Surya Tilak\u2019 illuminating the forehead of Ram Lalla.
\nThe \u2018Surya Tilak\u2019 occurred exactly at noon when a beam of sunlight fell precisely on the forehead of Ram Lalla\u2019s idol, forming a celestial tilak.
\nPriests offered prayers to Ram Lalla during the \u2018Surya Tilak\u2019.
\nThe nine-day festival, also known as Ram Navratri, concludes on Ram Navami, which marks the birthday of Lord Ram. Throughout the festival, all nine days are devoted to honouring the nine incarnations of the goddess Shakti.
\nThe festival is celebrated with great devotion across India, with rituals and prayers honouring the goddess in her various forms.
\nRam Navami is the day when Lord Rama appeared in his human and divine form, and is celebrated with great reverence and festivities all over India, but especially in the sacred city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
\nLeading up to Ram Navami, Hindus observe the 9-day fast during the Chaitra Navaratri, which consists of abstinence from alcohol, smoking, consumption of sattvic vegetarian food and immersing oneself in prayer and meditation.
\nSecurity was intensified at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple today as massive crowds of devotees arrived to offer prayers on the occasion of Navami, the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri.
\nADG Lucknow Zone, Praveen Kumar, said that comprehensive safety measures are in place to manage the surge in pilgrims, with authorities utilising drones and a vast network of CCTV cameras.
\nKumar said, \u201cDevotees have been arriving in large numbers to offer prayers at the temple. Proper security arrangements have been made. The security is being monitored with the help of drones and CCTV cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n
