On the occasion of Pran Pratistha of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi showered flower petals on the workers who were a part of the construction team at the Ram Temple. The Prime Minister also sprinkled flowers on the idol of Jatayu at the Ram Temple premises and also offered prayers to Lord Shiva in Ayodhya Dham.

PM Modi, after the inauguration event, also addressed the dignitaries invited for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony and said that the moment of unveiling of the Ram Lalla idol is an occasion not merely of triumph but humility too.

"This is a moment of celebration as well as the moment of a reflection of Indian society's maturity. It is an occasion of not merely triumph but humility too. The history of the world is itself proof that many countries get strangled in their own history and such countries faced difficulties when they tried to solve their problems...but the way, our country untied the knots of history, is proof that our future is going to be more beautiful than our past," he said.

The PM also said that the construction of the temple is a symbol of peace, patience, harmony, and integration in India.

"There was also a time when some people used to say 'Ram Mandir bana toh aag lag jaegi' (the construction of the temple will set off a firestorm). Such people could not understand the purity of India's social spirit. The construction of this temple of Ram Lalla is also a symbol of peace, patience, mutual harmony, and coordination of Indian society. We are seeing that this construction is not giving birth to any fire, but to energy," he added.

Several prominent personalities, including Bollywood celebrities, people from business, and other walks of life attended the event. The Ram Lalla idol was unveiled at the Pran Pratishtha ceremony after the hour-long rituals in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who led the ceremony.
