PM Modi to hoist saffron flag on 'shikhar' of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit the Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on 25th November to mark a significant milestone in the nation’s socio-cultural and spiritual journey. The visit coincides with the Panchami of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Margashirsha, aligning with the Abhijit Muhurat of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita's Vivah Panchami, symbolising divine union. Notably, the date also marks the martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the ninth Sikh Guru, who meditated in Ayodhya for 48 hours in the 17th century, enhancing the day’s spiritual significance.

Around 10 AM, the Prime Minister will visit the Saptmandir, which houses temples dedicated to Maharshi Vashishtha, Maharshi Vishwamitra, Maharshi Agastya,



Maharshi Valmiki, Devi Ahilya, Nishadraj Guha, and Mata Shabari. This will be followed by a visit to the Sheshavtar Mandir and then Mata Annapurna Mandir at around 11 AM. PM Modi will also perform Darshan and Pooja at the Ram Darbar Garbh Grah and Ram Lalla Garbha Grah.

At approximately 12 noon, PM Modi will ceremonially hoist a ten-foot by twenty-foot saffron flag atop the Shikhar of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, symbolising the temple’s construction completion and the ushering in of a new chapter of cultural celebration and national unity. The flag features a radiant Sun symbolising the brilliance and valour of Bhagwan Shri Ram, the sacred Kovidara tree, and the ‘Om’ symbol, representing Ram Rajya ideals and the unity of the nation.
