Ayodhya preparing to create history once again, with grand flag-hoisting ceremony

AYODHYA, Nov 11 : Temple city of Ayodhya is once again preparing to script history.

After five centuries of devotion and perseverance, Ram Lalla now resides in his grand temple, and on November 25, another golden chapter will be added to this divine journey.

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust officials here today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will personally visit Ayodhya to hoist the saffron flag atop the 161-foot-high main spire of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. For the first time, all seven spires of the temple will be adorned with saffron flags, marking a moment of unparalleled significance. When Ram Lalla, seated beneath the main peak, looks upon the fluttering flag, it will become an eternal and sacred memory for millions of Sanatan Dharma followers across the world.

The UP government has initiated extensive preparations under the Chief Minister’s direct supervision. Senior officials and members of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust have been stationed in Ayodhya for days, with every detail being reported to the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister’s Office in real time.

The historic event on November 25 will be broadcast live across all major news channels and digital platforms, including Doordarshan. A massive 200-foot-wide LED screen will be installed at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex, along with over 30 additional large screens at key locations across Ayodhya, including Rampath Tiraha, Sahadatganj, Teedi Bazaar, Nayaghat Bridge, Rikabganj, Lata Mangeshkar Chowk, Sugreev Fort, and Ram Ki Paidi, allowing lakhs of devotees to witness the moment the Prime Minister hoists the flag.

The city is being decorated with even greater grandeur than during Deepotsav. The entire Ram Temple complex will glow with spectacular lighting, while Ayodhya will be adorned with saffron flags, floral garlands, and colorful illuminations. Majestic archways bearing the words “Jai Shri Ram” in golden letters will welcome devotees at every major intersection.

From November 21 to 25, Ayodhya will be immersed in devotion with a series of spiritual and cultural programmes. The Tourism and Culture Department is coordinating with renowned artists to organize Ram Katha, devotional dances, bhajans, and folk performances, ensuring an atmosphere filled with divine energy.

Meanwhile, the Municipal Corporation is working around the clock to enhance the city’s beauty and cleanliness. Roads are being repaired, ghats painted, trees planted, and decorative flower pots arranged. The banks of the Saryu River are being given a shimmering golden look. Municipal Commissioner Jayendra Kumar shared that the preparations are being carried out in the same spirit as the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, with every lane and locality being beautified to reflect the sanctity and glory of Ramnagari.

This will not merely be a flag-hoisting event; it will be a moment that defines Ayodhya’s renewed identity and spiritual pride. The entire nation will witness this divine spectacle, which will forever remain etched in history and in the hearts of devotees worldwide.
