“This is not just a date on the calendar; it marks the beginning of a new era. After centuries of waiting, sacrifices, and devotion, the Ram Mandir stands as a symbol of India’s vision, philosophy, and direction," PM Modi remarked in a video post.
"For centuries, we have repeated the pledge ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (May all be happy)', and today, that commitment has taken shape in the form of the Ram Mandir. This temple is not just a place of worship, it is a depiction of India’s ideals and collective consciousness," he added.

It reminds us that when a goal is based on truth and supported by unified effort, no ambition is impossible," he added.
PM Modi highlighted that the temple symbolises a nation that has broken free from a colonial mindset, learned from every chapter of history, and is now creating a new legacy.
A series of cultural and religious events in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya have been organised by the Ram Temple Trust to celebrate the first anniversary of the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol at the temple.
