Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 10 : Actor Sonali Bendre visited Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and shared her experience of visiting the spiritual city. She also praised the beauty of Ram Lalla's idol and the architecture of the temple.

Speaking to ANI, she said, "When I look at Ayodhya, I cannot believe that such a beautiful city can exist. I would like to come again later when the whole temple is built... I think it will be a wonder and I will not be able to wait to come again. The idol of Lord Ram looked very beautiful, it was very nice and the darshan was also very good..."

She also took selfies with the devotees.

Earlier, Sonali reached Ayodhya and performed aarti at the Sarayu ghat.

Speaking to the media, she said, "It is very nice to come here...there are very good facilities here, very good arrangements. I liked it (Ayodhya) very much ..."

The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's historic temple was held on January 22, with PM Modi performing the Vedic rituals, led by a group of priests.

The ceremony was attended by representatives of all major spiritual and religious sects in the country. People from all walks of life, including representatives of various tribal communities, attended the ceremony.

Acharya Satyendra Das is the Chief Priest of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Temple, in Ayodhya.

The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir is constructed in traditional Nagara style. Its length (east-west) is 380 feet; width is 250 feet and height is 161 feet; and is supported by a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors.

The pillars and walls of the temple showcase intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities, Gods, and Goddesses. In the main sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor, the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram (the idol of Shri Ramlalla) has been placed.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonali made her acting debut with the 1994 film 'Aag', which also starred Govinda, Shilpa Shetty and Shakti Kapoor. Her first big hit was the action romance 'Diljale' which was released in 1996 and later she was also part of movies such as 'Major Saab', 'Sarfarosh', 'Duplicate', Zakhm', 'Chori Chori'and 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', among others.

In 2018, she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment in the USA. After undergoing treatment for months, she finally defeated the disease and came out victorious, and since then she has been raising awareness about cancer.
