Instead, he advocated for a collective celebration by lighting diyas at homes across the nation.
Addressing a public meeting after unveiling a renovated railway station and airport in Ayodhya, PM Modi emphasised the significance of "vikas" (development) and "virasat" (heritage) in propelling the nation forward. While extending an invitation to those with formal invitations for the ceremony, he cautioned others against visiting the temple town, stressing the importance of safety and adherence to COVID-19 protocols.
In a notable call to action, Prime Minister Modi encouraged citizens nationwide to illuminate their homes with diyas on January 22, fostering a sense of unity and celebration throughout the country.
"I am a devotee of every particle and person of India; I too am eagerly awaiting the day of Pran Pratishtha at the upcoming Ram Temple," he stated.
