With less than two weeks left for the “dhwaj” (flag hoisting) ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, large numbers of devotees have begun visiting the shrine to offer prayers to Lord Ram ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit on November 25.

Families, including children, are arriving in the temple town to seek blessings and take part in the ongoing preparations for the ceremony.

“This is a symbol for the nation in the coming days. I also think that darshan of god, and seeing the god with your eyes is a Prasad in itself. The trust makes sure that everyone receives prasad, this has always happened, we will ensure this time too. We will definitely give prasad,” he told ANI.
