President Murmu and PM Modi to attend
flag-hoisting ceremony at Ram temple
According to
Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust arrangements have been made for around 10,000 guests for the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, to be held on November 25 which will
witness the presence of President Droupadi Murmu and PM Modi.
The event coincides with ‘Vivah Panchami” and on this day, the marriage festival of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita will also be celebrated in temples across Ayodhya traditionally.
Plans are afoot for a grand procession featuring Lord Ram with religious events in the Ram temple complex.
Chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Mohan Bhagwat will also attend the event.
For the preparations of the ceremony, a meeting was held at the temple trust office, which was attended by trust and administrative officials along with RSS and VHP leaders earlier this week.
Sources reveal it was decided in the meeting that the ceremony will not be limited to just flag-hoisting, but will also showcase the organisational strength of the VHP and the RSS.
The trust member said that “after the installation of the golden spire on the Ram temple, a flag will be hoisted on it.”
“Flags will also be hoisted on all 20 temples within the complex, including the six temples on the perimeter. Hoisting the flag signifies the completion of the temple construction.
Reportedly, religious rituals will commence on November 23, with ceremonies and flag worship taking place in the temple complex. The worship will include recitations of the Ram Raksha Stotra, various chants, and special mantras, along with offerings.
On November 25, the main event day, the flag worship will take place from 11.45 am to 12.15 pm, with the auspicious time for worship being just 30 minutes.
Amidst this period, the religious flag will be hoisted on the spires of the Ram temple and all other temples in the complex.
The administration too has intensified preparations for accommodation and security arrangements for the thousands of people arriving in Ayodhya during the flag-hoisting ceremony.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has formed committees and assigned responsibilities to its members for the event.
