PM Modi showering flower petals on the workers who were a part of the construction team at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22, showered flower petals on the workers who were a part of the construction team at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Pm Modi also sprinkled flowers on the murti of Jatayu at the Ram Mandir premises and also offered prayers to Bhagwan Shiv in Ayodhya Dham.
Prime Minister Modi, while addressing the dignitaries invited for the Pran Pratishtha at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya said that the moment of unveiling of the Ram Lalla murti is an occasion not merely of triumph but humility too.
“This is a moment of celebration as well as the moment of a reflection of Indian society’s maturity. It is an occasion of not merely triumph but humility too. The history of the world is itself proof that many countries get strangled in their own history and such countries faced difficulties when they tried to solve their problems…but the way, our country untied the knots of history, is proof that our future is going to be more beautiful than our past,” he said.
The PM said that the construction of the Mandir which was supposed to ‘set off a firestorm’ is a symbol of peace, patience, harmony and integration of the country.
“There was also a time when some people used to say ‘Ram Mandir bana toh aag lag jaegi’ (the construction of the mandir will set off a firestorm). Such people could not understand the purity of India’s social spirit. The construction of this mandir of Sri Ram Lalla is also a symbol of peace, patience, mutual harmony and coordination of the Indian society. We are seeing that this construction is not giving birth to any fire, but to energy,” he added.
The PM also said that Ayodhya’s Ram mandir is a Mandir of national consciousness in the form of Bhagwan Ram.
The Ram Lalla murti was unveiled at the Pran Pratishtha after the hour-long rituals in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who led the ceremony. The Prime Minister walked inside the Mandir premises with a silver ‘chattar’ (umbrella) placed on a red folded dupatta.
RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were also present inside the sanctorum during the rituals. Devotees and guests chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ as the ceremony was held.
