Ayodhya resonated with devotional fervour on Tuesday (November 25, 2025) morning as thousands of devotees streamed into the temple town ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to ceremonially hoist a saffron flag atop the Ram temple, marking the formal completion of its construction.
From the crack of dawn, chants of "Jai Shri Ram" echoed across the city as visiting seers and pilgrims termed the hoisting of the temple flag — a sacred ceremony called “Dhwaj Arohan” — one of historic fulfilment.
A special invitee to the Ram Mandir Trust, said the ceremony will be conducted by Prime Minister Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
"The rituals are complete. The prime minister will enter the premises at 10 am and stay till around 1.30 pm. 'Darshan', 'pooja', 'dhwaj arohan' and an address will all take place during this period," he said.
An official said that depending on the timing of the programme, darshan for the public may resume from Tuesday (November 25, 2025) evening, "otherwise, devotees will certainly get darshan from Wednesday (November 26, 2025)".
