This anniversary is a divine festival of our faith and traditions. On this holy and pure occasion, from the side of all Ram devotees of the country and abroad, my crores of salutations and obeisance at the feet of Lord Shri Ram! My infinite best wishes to all the countrymen.”
“By the boundless grace and blessings of Lord Shri Ram, the five-century-old resolve of countless Ram devotees has been fulfilled. Today, Ram Lalla is once again enshrined in his magnificent abode, and this year, Ayodhya’s flag of dharma is bearing witness to the consecration of Ram Lalla on the twelfth day. It is my good fortune that last month I had the auspicious opportunity to participate in the sacred establishment of this flag,” he added. अयोध्या जी की पावन धरा पर आज रामलला की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा की द्वितीय वर्षगांठ मनाई जा रही है। ये वर्षगांठ हमारी आस्था और संस्कारों का एक दिव्य उत्सव है। इस पावन-पुनीत अवसर पर देश-विदेश के सभी रामभक्तों की ओर से प्रभु श्री राम के चरणों में मेरा कोटि-कोटि नमन और वंदन! समस्त देशवासियों… pic.twitter.com/c1eY75MxDa — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) December 31, 2025
