Notably, PM Modi was observing an 11-day special Anusthan, which he announced in commemoration of the Ram Temple inauguration. He embarked on this special ritual on January 12. He listened to the Kamba Ramayana recital at Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple on Saturday. Kampan performed his Ramayana for the first time in public at this temple. He also took a holy dip into the sea, known as Agni Tirtham. The Shiva temple, tucked away in the Rameswaram island of Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram district, also has a connection to the Ramayana, as the Shiva linga here was installed by Shri Ram. Lord Ram and Sita Devi prayed here.
