The Yatra is being conducted under the leadership of Swami Krishananda Saraswati with the objectives of re-establishment of Ram Rajya, inclusion of Ramayana in curriculums, construction of Shri Ram Ram Temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya and declaration of Thursday as National weekly holiday and declaration of World Hindu Day. A memorandum urging these five points will be submitted to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind after collecting 10 lakh signatures during the Yatra.

It is passing through Sengottai, Ilangi, Tenkasi, Kadayanalloor, Puliyangudi, Vasudevanalloor, Sivagiri and will proceed to Rameswaram via Rajapalayam and Madurai.
