New Delhi/Ayodhya, Nov 24: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ayodhya on Tuesday to ceremonially hoist a saffron flag atop the spire of the Ram Janmbhoomi Temple, marking the completion of its construction.
The triangular flag, measuring ten feet in height and twenty feet in length, features a radiant Sun symbolising Lord Rama’s brilliance and valour. It also bears the ‘Om’ symbol and an image of the Kovidara tree, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
The PMO said the sacred saffron flag conveys a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity, reflecting the ideals of Ram Rajya. The flag will be raised atop a ‘shikhar’ built in the traditional North Indian Nagara architectural style. Surrounding it is an 800-metre Parkota, a circumambulatory enclosure designed in the South Indian architectural tradition, highlighting the temple’s architectural diversity.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will also tour 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 Sheshavtar Mandir.
He will further visit Mata Annapurna Mandir and perform darshan and pooja at the Ram Darbar Garbh Grah, before proceeding to Ram Lalla Garbha Grah for darshan, the PMO statement added.
