Opening her address with the chant "Jai Shri Ram," she stated, "The path of both devout followers and devotion is the same. Bowing before Lord Shri Ram and paying homage to Mother India are the same." The President said this during her visit to the Ram temple in Ayodhya, where she participated in special religious ceremonies and installed a 150-kg gold-plated metal plate known as the 'Shri Ram Yantra.'
"The bhoomi pujan at this sacred Ram Janmabhoomi, the Pran Pratishtha here, the opening of Ram Darbar for devotees, and the hoisting of the Dharma Dhwaj on the top of the temple— all these are golden moments in our history," the President said.
