However in the next line, he revealed that he would not be able to attend the ceremony. He did not reveal the exact reason but he mentioned that he will not be in India on that day. He added, “It’s unfortunate that I am not being able to attend #PranPratishtha as I am not in Bharat on 22nd Jan for some inevitable reason and only Ram ji knows how sad I am.”

Reacting to his post, one user said, “You are so fortunate that you got this invitation.” Another user wrote, “Please don't share the pass id and QR code. It can cause security issues.” A third user commented, “Sir, with respect, if you are not going, can you share this invitation with one of the devotees?”
