PM Modi to Hoist Flag at Ayodhya Ram Temple on Nov 25

Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh – October 10, 2025

In a momentous chapter of India’s spiritual renaissance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hoist the sacred flag atop the majestic Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on November 25, 2025, heralding the official completion of the temple’s grand construction. This ceremonial act, invited by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, symbolizes the triumph of unwavering devotion, cultural resurgence, and national unity, inviting millions to witness the fulfillment of a centuries-old dream.

The announcement, confirmed by Nripendra Mishra, Chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, has ignited waves of jubilation among devotees worldwide. “The hoisting of the flag by the Prime Minister signifies that the temple and its allied structures are now ready and open for devotees,” Mishra stated, underscoring the event’s profound significance. Coinciding with the auspicious Vivah Panchami—the traditional celebration of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita’s divine wedding—the ceremony will unfold after a five-day Vedic ritual from November 21 to 25, led by revered Acharyas from Ayodhya and Kashi. A 21-foot ‘Dharma Dhwaja’ (religious flag) will be raised on the temple’s golden spire, protected by a 360-degree rotating chamber designed to withstand high-velocity winds, ensuring its eternal grace.

A Saga of Faith and Resilience

The Ram Mandir stands as an eternal testament to the indomitable spirit of Sanatan Dharma. Rooted in the epic Ramayana, Ayodhya—believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram—has been a beacon of Hindu heritage for millennia. The site’s contested history, marked by the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 and ensuing legal battles, culminated in the Supreme Court’s 2019 verdict awarding the 2.77-acre land to the Trust for temple construction. What followed was a symphony of devotion: the Bhoomi Pujan on August 5, 2020, led by PM Modi himself, followed by the Pran Pratishtha (consecration) of Ram Lalla on January 22, 2024, drawing global luminaries and igniting a cultural revolution.

Architecturally, the temple is a masterpiece of Nagara-style design, spanning 360 feet by 235 feet with three tiers and five mandapas. Crafted from over 1.2 million cubic feet of pink Chunar sandstone and granite, it eschews iron and cement, embodying ancient Vedic precision. The Sanctum Sanctorum houses the idol of Ram Lalla, flanked by Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman, while 14 subsidiary shrines dot the 70-acre complex, including temples to Shiva, Surya, and the Sapta Matrikas. A sacred river of Saryu waters flows nearby, enhanced by modern pilgrim pathways like the Hanumat Path corridor, blending timeless sanctity with contemporary accessibility.

This flag-hoisting milestone crowns a construction journey that began with the ground floor in 2022, progressing through meticulous phases amid global admiration. Time-lapse cameras have captured every stone laid, preserving the narrative for posterity in an upcoming documentary. As Mishra noted, the event will “convey to the world that the decades-long Ram Temple project has reached completion,” opening the complex fully to pilgrims and boosting Ayodhya’s transformation into a spiritual tourism hub.

Preparations for a Divine Spectacle

Excitement is palpable as Ayodhya gears up for an influx of over 10,000 dignitaries, including potentially President Droupadi Murmu alongside PM Modi. The ritual program will feature Ram Raksha Stotra recitations, bhajan-kirtans, Ramayana path, and tableaux of Ram-Sita’s vivah, with parallel celebrations in Janakpur, Nepal—Sita’s birthplace. The flag worship, timed between 11:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m., will echo across the complex’s spires, accompanied by Vedic chants and special offerings.

The Uttar Pradesh administration has amplified infrastructure: the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, a Rs 1,450 crore marvel, now connects Ayodhya seamlessly, while the Rs 19,650 crore greenfield airport expansion promises smoother pilgrim flows. Enhanced security, accommodations for lakhs, and eco-friendly initiatives ensure a seamless experience. Mock drills for the flag hoisting have been conducted, finalizing the flag’s saffron-hued design to evoke dharma’s victory.

On social media, the buzz is electric. Devotees from across the diaspora hail it as “a divine pride for every Sanatani,” with hashtags like #ShriRamMandir and #RamRajya trending. One X user exclaimed, “PM Modi attending the flag-hoisting at Ram Mandir on November 25 marks another milestone after the temple’s consecration—a historic moment for Ayodhya.” Families plan pilgrimages, viewing the rainswept monsoons as mere preludes to this joyous crescendo.

Echoes of Ram Rajya

PM Modi’s pivotal role—from bhoomi pujan to pran pratishtha and now flag hoisting—embodies his vision of cultural reclamation and inclusive progress. “This is not just a temple; it’s the resurgence of our civilizational ethos,” reflected a senior Trust member. For Ayodhya’s residents, once scarred by strife, it’s redemption: the town now thrives with homestays, artisan markets, and spiritual corridors, fostering economic and emotional healing.

As November approaches, chants of “Jai Shri Ram” will swell, bridging past glories with future aspirations. The flag’s flutter against Ayodhya’s skies will whisper of dharma’s eternal return, inviting all to partake in Ram’s boundless grace.

For devotees eager to visit, darshan timings post-completion will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., with online bookings via the Trust’s portal. Reach Ayodhya via NH27 from Lucknow (135 km) or the revamped railway station. Stay updated at sriramjanmabhoomi.org.

In the words of Valmiki’s immortal verse, “Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram”—may this flag hoisting usher in an era of harmony and heritage renewed.
