PM Modi Leads Hoisting of Sacred Flag at Ram Mandir
Ayodhya: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hoisted the sacred flag atop the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, in a grand ceremony attended by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
PM Modi arrived in Ayodhya from Delhi via Maharshi Valmiki Airport and took a helicopter to Saket Mahavidyalaya. From there, he traveled by road in a ceremonial procession to the Sapt Mandir, where the historic flag-hoisting ritual was performed amid Vedic chants, marking a significant moment in the temple’s legacy.
The Sacred Flag hoisted atop the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya is 10 feet tall and 20 feet long, designed in a right-angled triangular shape. The flag prominently features a bright sun, symbolizing the talent and valor of Lord Ram, along with the Kovidara tree and the sacred “Om” symbol, representing spiritual continuity and the ideals of Ram Rajya.

During the event, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath delivered a powerful address, emphasizing the symbolism of the saffron flag. He said, “This flag atop the temple symbolizes a new India. Over 500 years, leadership and times may have changed, but faith never wavered. When the responsibility came to the RSS, the single voice that resonated was: ‘Ramlalla hum aayenge, mandir wahi banayenge’ (We will come for Lord Ram, and the temple will be built there).”
RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat described the day as one of great significance and fulfillment. “Today is a meaningful day for all of us. The souls of those who sacrificed their lives for this purpose must be gratified. Ashoka ji must have found peace there. Today, the flag of Ram Rajya, which once flew in Ayodhya, has been hoisted again,” he said.
He further elaborated on the symbolism of the flag: “The saffron flag bears the Kovidara tree, representing the power of the Raghu dynasty. This tree is known for giving shade to everyone, standing in the sun, and bearing fruits for others. The sun symbolizes the resolve and determination of the people who envisioned this temple. The result is a temple that surpasses even their grandest dreams.”
