PM Modi to Hoist Flag at Ayodhya Ram Temple

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend a ceremonial flag-hoisting event at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ayodhya on Tuesday, marking the formal completion of the main Ram Temple's construction. The event, scheduled for November 25, 2025, will feature the raising of a saffron flag on the temple's central spire around noon, following Modi's arrival for worship and darshan at approximately 10 a.m.

Officials described the Dharma Dhwaj ceremony as a culmination of the temple's development, with the prime minister leading the proceedings. Modi will first visit the Saptamandir, a cluster of shrines dedicated to sages including Vashishtha, Vishwamitra, Agastya, and Valmiki, as well as figures from the Ramayana such as Devi Ahilya, Nishadraj Guha, and Mata Shabari. He will then proceed to the Sheshavatar Mandir and the Mata Annapurna temple before performing pooja and darshan at the Ram Darbar Garbh Grah and the Ram Lalla Garbh Grah. The day will conclude with Modi addressing a gathering of around 10,000 attendees, including participants from the temple movement and dignitaries such as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
