PM Modi Ayodhya Ram Mandir flag hoisting : ‘Our Ram unites through emotion, not division’

The good news

Ayodhya witnessed another historic moment today as Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the flag at the Ram Mandir, marking a significant cultural and emotional event for millions across the country. Large gatherings of devotees, tight security arrangements, and live coverage turned Ayodhya into the national spotlight once again.

The ceremony took place early in the morning, with chants of “Jai Shri Ram” echoing across the temple complex. The Prime Minister reached Ayodhya amid huge crowds, where he was welcomed by priests and temple officials.

PM Modi’s message: “Ram unites, not divides”

After the flag hoisting, PM Modi addressed the gathering and highlighted the power of Lord Ram’s message.

He said that Ram represents emotion, unity, love, and compassion, and that his teachings stand against hatred or division of any kind. The PM added that the world looks at India’s spiritual heritage with great respect, and Ram Mandir has now become a symbol of that heritage.

According to him, the story of Ram is not limited to one community or one region; it is a shared cultural treasure that binds people in a common feeling of devotion.

A significant moment after the Pran Pratishtha

This is the first major event at the temple after the grand Pran Pratishtha ceremony earlier. Since then, the number of daily visitors to the Ram Mandir has been increasing steadily, turning Ayodhya into one of the country’s busiest pilgrimage destinations.

Officials say the temple complex is witnessing record footfall and the administration continues to expand services to handle the rising crowd.

Massive crowd and elaborate arrangements

Thousands of people gathered around the mandir premises, many standing for hours just to witness the ceremony. Special viewing screens were placed across Ayodhya for devotees who couldn’t reach the temple gates.

Security was extremely tight with multiple checkpoints, drone surveillance, and crowd-control teams deployed across the area. Ambulance services, volunteer groups, and medical camps were also placed on standby.

Leaders and saints react

Several political leaders, religious saints, and community representatives praised the event. Many called it a unifying moment for the country.

Some leaders also said that the ceremony reflects India’s cultural revival and strengthens the spiritual bond shared by millions of devotees.

Ayodhya prepares for more celebrations

With the temple’s next construction phase moving ahead, Ayodhya is preparing for more events in the coming months. Hotels, guest houses, transport facilities, and local businesses are experiencing a major boost as visitors continue to pour in.

What this event means for people

For the common devotee, today’s event was filled with emotion. Many said they never thought such a moment would arrive in their lifetime. Families traveled from different parts of the country, some holding posters, some carrying saffron flags, and others simply standing silently in prayer.

The ceremony reminded many of Ram’s message of truth, patience, and harmony—values that Prime Minister Modi stressed again during his address.

Conclusion

The flag hoisting at Ayodhya Ram Mandir marks yet another meaningful milestone in India’s cultural and spiritual landscape. With PM Modi emphasising unity, peace, and emotional connection, the event carried a message far beyond religious lines.
