This is a historic moment for devotees across the world. I look forward to seeing Ram Mandir in Ayodhya soon; Surely it will be more grand and beautiful than this model I have."

Meawhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Shri Ramlalla in the newly-built Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya on Monday.
