Ayodhya, 24th Nov: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on 25 November to mark a historic spiritual occasion. The visit will culminate in the ceremonial hoisting of a saffron flag atop the temple’s Shikhar, symbolising the completion of the temple’s construction and the beginning of a new cultural chapter.

The day will begin with the Prime Minister’s visit to the Saptmandir complex at 10 am, which houses temples dedicated to Maharshi Vashishtha, Maharshi Vishwamitra, Maharshi Agastya, Maharshi Valmiki, Devi Ahilya, Nishadraj Guha and Mata Shabari. He will then proceed to Sheshavtar Mandir.

At 11 am, the Prime Minister is scheduled to visit Mata Annapurna Mandir, followed by Darshan and Pooja at the Ram Darbar Garbh Grah and then Ram Lalla Garbha Grah.

At 12 noon, Prime Minister Modi will hoist a ten-foot by twenty-foot saffron flag on the temple Shikhar. The triangular flag features a radiant Sun symbolising the brilliance and valour of Bhagwan Shri Ram, an inscribed ‘Om’, and the image of the Kovidara tree—together representing dignity, unity and the ideals of Ram Rajya.

The event coincides with the auspicious Panchami of Shukla Paksha in Margashirsha, aligning with the Abhijit Muhurat of Shri Ram and Maa Sita’s Vivah Panchami. The date also marks the martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, who meditated in Ayodhya for 48 hours in the 17th century, adding deeper spiritual meaning to the ceremony.

The flag will be raised over a Shikhar built in the traditional North Indian Nagara architectural style, while the surrounding 800-metre Parkota, designed in the South Indian tradition, highlights the temple’s architectural diversity.

The temple complex includes 87 carved stone episodes from the Valmiki Ramayana on the outer walls of the main temple and 79 bronze-cast cultural episodes along the enclosure walls. These elements provide visitors with a rich, immersive journey into the life of Bhagwan Shri Ram and India’s civilisational heritage.
