Historic Moment: PM Modi Emotionally Welcomes Ram Lalla to Ayodhya Temple

New Delhi: In a historic and emotionally emotional moment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the consecration of the new idol of Lord Ram, popularly known as Ram Lala, at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya. After the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony on Monday, Modi expressed deep emotions, saying, “Our Ram has come,” marking the end of the centuries-old anticipation.

Apologizing to Lord Ram for the delay in the construction of the temple, Modi said, ‘There must be something lacking in our efforts, sacrifice and penance that we could not do this work for so many centuries.’ He expressed confidence that Lord Ram will forgive and thanked the devotees for their patience and sacrifice.

The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony, which was attended by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, UP Governor Anandiben Patel and CM Yogi Adityanath, marked the official consecration of the idol of Ram Lalla inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.

Modi said January 22, 2024 marks the beginning of a new era and the construction of Ram Temple has infused a new energy among the people by freeing them from the chains of slavery. He thanked the Supreme Court for its judgment in 2019 that paved the way for the construction of the temple.

The event was celebrated across the country, with Modi declaring that Lord Ram is in the soul of all Indian citizens, making it a nationwide Diwali celebration. Ramlala’s consecration is seen as a moment of pride and a symbol of the new India.

The construction of Ram temple fulfills a 35-year-old promise of the BJP, although it has been a contentious political issue. The temple site has witnessed historical disputes between Hindus and Muslims, leading to nationwide riots in 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished by kar sevaks.

In Ayodhya, the atmosphere was jubilant, with thousands of saffron-clad people celebrating through devotional music, religious chanting and festive dance. The completion of the Ram Temple is a testament to India’s cultural and spiritual heritage, marking an important chapter in the country’s history.
