In the pictures shared on his official X handle, the PM was seen paying obeisance while watching the video ceremony on a tablet.

During his rally in Assam, Modi greeted the people on the occasion of Ram Navami and said that Ayodhya is in incomparable bliss as this is the first time the festival would be celebrated there after the consecration of the Ram temple.

“There is a new atmosphere in the entire country and this birthday of Lord Ram has come after 500 years, when he got the privilege of celebrating his birthday in his own home,” he said.

The ‘Surya tilak’ of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya was done at noon on Wednesday on the occasion of Ram Navami during which the sunbeams were directed on the forehead of the Ram idol.
