PM Modi to Hoist Sacred Flag at Ram Mandir in Ayodhya Today
Prime Minister Modi will lead the Dhwajarohan ceremony at Ram Mandir, marking the temple's completion as a saffron flag rises atop the shikhar in Ayodhya.
Ayodhya is all set for the Dhwajarohan ceremony at the Ram Mandir, which marks the completion of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple and its transition from a construction site to a divine abode. The event is timed with the auspicious Panchami date in Margashirsha and the Abhijit Muhurat of Shri Ram and Maa Sita's Vivah Panchami, a day of spiritual resonance. The ceremony is expected to draw thousands of dignitaries and devotees, highlighting the temple's significance for millions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will ceremonially hoist the saffron flag on the spire (shikhar) of the Ram Mandir at noon. The flag is 10 feet high and 20 feet long, shaped as a right-angled triangle, and features a radiant Sun, an Om, and an image of a Kovidara tree. It will rise atop a shikhar built in the traditional North Indian Nagara architectural style, while the surrounding 800-metre Parkota encircling the temple displays South Indian architectural influences. The move is described as a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity, embodying the ideals of Ram Rajya.
The Ram Mandir complex houses 87 intricately carved stone episodes from the life of Lord Ram, reflecting the temple’s deep historical and spiritual narrative. Officials emphasize that the Dhwajarohan ceremony formalizes the site’s spiritual status and marks a historic milestone in Ayodhya’s religious landscape.
Security has been tightened in Ayodhya around the event as authorities prepare for the high-profile ceremony, underscoring the scale and significance of the day for many communities. The event is also noted for its broader social symbolism, with mentions of unity across diverse groups as part of the ongoing narrative surrounding the temple’s completion.
