Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to unfurl a specially designed saffron flag during Abhijit Muhurat, with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and senior Uttar Pradesh leaders in attendance.
- The flag measures 22 by 11 feet, bears symbols of Surya, Om and the Kovidar tree, and will be hoisted via an automated system on a 42‑foot mast atop the 161‑foot shikhar within about ten seconds.
- Public darshan is suspended on November 25, with about 8,000 guests expected; invitees were asked to arrive on November 24 with entry between 7:30 and 9:00 am and phones restricted for those invited.
- Security rehearsals and mock trials have been completed, the 8‑kilometre route from the airport to the temple will be barricaded, and a multi‑agency grid with SPG, UP Police, PAC, CRPF, drones and CCTV will oversee the event.
- Ayodhya airport has arranged land management for as many as 80 chartered planes with additional CISF personnel, while guest operations include roughly 1,600 reserved rooms, tent cities and large LED screens for live viewing across the city.
