Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the flag at the summit of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Monday. This day will be etched in the history of Sanatan Dharma. Several dignitaries, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, have arrived in Ayodhya to attend. Tight security arrangements have been made.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the flag at the top of the divine Ram Temple on Tuesday. With this, the date of November 25th will also be etched in the golden history of Sanatan Dharmis, following November 9th, 2019, August 5th, 2020, and January 22nd, 2024.

We may measure the flag hoisted atop the main peak of the Ram Temple at 18 feet in length and nine feet in width, but the truth is that this flag, a symbol of the glory of Sanatan Dharma, will cover Ram devotees across the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive in Ramnagari at 9:35 am on Tuesday, but Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already arrived in Ayodhya on Monday.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also arrived in Ramnagari on the eve. Six thousand guests, including Governor Anandiben Patel, will witness the ceremony on Tuesday. Most of the guests arrived on Monday. Upon reaching Ayodhya, the Prime Minister will be welcomed at several locations, from Saket College to the Adi Shankaracharya Gate at the birthplace.

He will arrive at the Ram Mandir complex at 11 a.m. He will first visit all the sub-temples and perform puja according to local traditions. He is likely to first visit Sage Valmiki at the Saptarishi Mandap. Afterward, the Prime Minister will participate in a special aarti and hoist the Dharmadhwaj (the flag) at the top of the Ram Mandir during the Abhijit Muhurta.

The auspicious time for hoisting the flag is scheduled between 11:58 am and 12:30 pm. The Prime Minister will also address the gathering after hoisting the flag. Meanwhile, the five-day puja (worship) in the temple complex, associated with the flag hoisting, concluded on Monday evening with the evening aarti.

6,970 personnel deployed for Ayodhya's security Tight security arrangements have been made in Ayodhya. 6,970 security personnel, including NSG snipers and NSG commandos, cyber experts, and technical teams, have been deployed. Special teams have been deployed for crowd management, security checks, explosive detection, and emergency response. Anti-drone systems are active in the temple complex and surrounding areas.

Unique coincidence of Vivah Panchami

Tuesday, the day of flag hoisting, also marks Vivah Panchami, the wedding anniversary of Sita and Lord Rama. A pashmina shawl with a gold-studded tunic has been made for Lord Rama to wear on this special occasion. A silk sari for Sita and fabrics for the other idols have been specially sourced from Karnataka.

Renowned designer Manish Tiwari of Ambedkar Nagar designed the statue. The silk garments of Ram Lalla and Mother Sita are embroidered with gold threads. The garments of all the idols feature distinct designs. Each garment is embroidered with gold threads.

All the deities will wear pashmina shawls of different colors. Manish explained that for each occasion, Ram Lalla's clothes are made from silk from different regions of the country.

Flags will be installed in all the sub-temples including the peak

The 41-foot-high flagstaff on the 161-foot-high temple, including the spire, is mounted on a 360-degree rotating chamber. Ten feet of the flagstaff will remain inside the spire, fitted with ball bearings to ensure the flag remains secure even in strong winds. Twenty-five flags have been prepared for the main spire, and a hundred smaller flags have been ordered for the supplementary temples.

Parachute cloth was used to make the flags. Sources indicate that the flags will be changed every fifteen days. The flag hoisted on the main spire is 18 feet long and nine feet wide, while the flags hoisted on the sub-temples are six feet long and four feet wide. All flags will be saffron in color, symbolizing righteousness, sacrifice, and courage.

The flags feature three primary symbols: the ú, the Sun, and the Kovidar tree. The Sun symbolizes Lord Rama's Suryavanshi lineage, representing bravery, brilliance, and valor. The ú symbolizes the spirituality, eternity, and perpetual dynamism of Sanatan culture. The Kovidar tree of the Treta Yuga is mentioned several times in the Valmiki Ramayana, especially in the Ayodhya Kanda.

Smaller flags will be hoisted on the spires of the temples of Lord Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman, Surya, Goddess Bhagwati, and Goddess Annapurna. All flags have been worshipped in the ongoing rituals at the Ram Temple.
