PM Modi Ayodhya Visit: ‘Dhwaj Arohan’ Ceremony at Ram Temple
The Prime Minister of India Today visited Ayodhya to take part in a significant religious ceremony that has taken place at the new Ram Temple. The ceremony, known as Dhwaj Arohan, will see the installation of a 22-foot devotional flag or ‘dharma dhwaj’ on the temple shikhar.
A Holy Ritual at the Ram Temple
During Dhwaj Arohan, Prime Minister Modi will lead the ceremony and hoist a saffron flag. It is in the shape of a right angle triangle and has great significance. The flag displays a sun, which represents eternal brilliance and energy associated with Lord Ram. In addition, the flag also shows the sacred Om sign. This is a religious component to the event.
The Indian Prime Minister’s office will be celebrating an auspicious (or muhurat) date. It signifies the union between Lord Ram and Mata Sita according to the Hindu religion. Also, marking it with a flag atop a temple shikhar built in the traditional Nagara style of North India. It represents an important part of the historical development of temple architecture.
