AYODHYA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday offered prayers at the Saptmandir at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple premises, ahead of the flag-hoisting ceremony at the temple.
The Saptmandir houses temples 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 Temple premises.
PM Modi will hoist the sacred saffron flag atop the temple’s 191-foot-high shikhara at noon today, symbolising the completion of the temple’s construction and ushering in a new chapter of cultural celebration and national unity, at noon today. The Prime Minister will also 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 Lord 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.
