Modi Hoists Saffron Flag Atop Ayodhya Ram Temple, Marking Construction's Completion

The Dhwajarohan was presented as a civilisational renewal through the installation of the PMO-detailed ‘Dharma Dhwaj’ on the shikhar.

Overview

  • Temple authorities conducted the hoisting during the Abhijit Muhurat on Vivah Panchami, framing it as the formal completion of the project.
  • The right‑angled triangular flag carries a radiant Sun, the ‘Om’ symbol and the Kovidara tree per the PMO, and was built from parachute‑grade fabric to withstand wind and weather.
  • RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and governor Anandiben Patel attended, with about 10,000 invitees present and extensive rituals across the complex preceding the event.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “the wounds and pain of centuries are healing” and described the flag as embodying Ram Rajya values and a resurgence of Indian civilisation.
  • The temple trust said the saffron flag will be changed twice a year during Navratri, capping a milestone sequence after the 2020 Bhoomi Pujan and the 2024 Pran Pratishtha.
