Prime Minister Narendra Modi has offered prayers at Bhagwaan Sri Ram Lalla Virajman in Ayodhya. This will be PM Modi’s first visit to Ayodhya after he laid the foundation stone for the temple in 2020.
The Prime Minister arrived in Ayodhya today at 4pm and was personally received by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Around 6:30 pm today, PM Modi will witness the evening aarti on the Saryu River, and unveil the sixth edition of the Deepotsav celebrations.
His official YouTube channel is already live-streaming the event.
He will light five diyas (earthen lamps) symbolising the Panchtatva (water, space, fire, wind and earth). Over 15 lakh diyas will be lit for the occasion by more than 22,000 volunteers at Ram ki Paidi on the Saryu River. A special laser show has also been organised for the prime minister here.
