The Saptmandir houses Mandirs related to Maharshi Vashishtha, Maharshi Vishwamitra, Maharshi Agastya, Maharshi Valmiki, Devi Ahilya, Nishadraj Guha and Mata Shabari.
This was followed by a visit to the Sheshavtar Mandir at the Ram Mandir premises. Later today, PM Modi will hoist the flag at noon and address the gathering on this historic occasion.
The ‘Dharma Dhwaj’ carries three sacred symbols, Om, the Sun and the Kovidara tree, each representing profound spiritual values rooted in the Sanatan tradition.
The Kovidar tree is a hybrid of the Mandar and Parijat trees, created by Rishi Kashyap, showcasing ancient plant hybridisation. The Sun represents Bhagwan Ram’s Suryavansh lineage, and Om is the eternal spiritual sound.
Hoisting of the flag to coincide with the Abhijit Muhurat of Shri Ram and Maa Sita’s Vivah Panchami.
Earlier today, PM Modi held a roadshow in Ayodhya ahead of the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, where he was greeted by hundreds of devotees holding the tricolour as he headed to the Ram Mandir for the ceremony.
