PM Modi to attend Ram Temple inauguration ceremony
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he will attend the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, which is set to take place on January 22 next year.
“Today is a day full of emotions. The officials of Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi Tirtha Kshetra today came to meet me at my residence. They invited me to come to Ayodhya on the occasion of the consecration of Shri Ram temple,” PM Modi said in a post in Hindi, along with a photo of the temple trust’s functionaries, on October 25.
“I feel very blessed. It is my good fortune that in my lifetime, I will witness this historic occasion,” he added.
Hail Siya Ram!

Earlier, Shri Ram Janambhoomi Trust General Secretary Champat Rai had confirmed that the idol of Lord Ram will be installed at the temple on January 22 and that PM Modi has accepted their invitation.
The trust is reportedly planning to invite over 25,000 Hindu religious leaders from 136 Sanatana traditions for the consecration ceremony. About 10,000 “special guests” are also likely to be invited to the grand ceremony.
PM Modi laid the foundation stone of the Ram Mandir on August 5, 2020, after the Supreme Court — in a verdict in November 2019 — paved the way for the construction of the temple.
The Centre had then set up the Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi Tirtha Kshetra to oversee the construction and the management of the temple.
