Prime Minister Narendra Modi today posted a video of him taking the steps to the Ram temple in Ayodhya. He carried offerings for Lord Ram as he walked slowly inside the temple.
"... It is my great pleasure to be a part of this divine programme," PM Modi said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Dressed in a golden kurta teamed up with a cream dhoti and patka, he walked into the sanctum sanctorum of the temple holding a silver umbrella on a folded red dupatta. The Prime Minister then took 'sankalp' for the consecration ceremony.
The "pran pratistha" of Ram Lalla's idol began at 12.20 pm and is expected to end by 1 pm.
PM Modi will then address a gathering which includes seers and prominent personalities.
