"After my Nalbari rally, I watched the Surya Tilak on Ram Lalla. Like crores of Indians, this is a very emotional moment for me. The grand Ram Navami in Ayodhya is historic. May this Surya Tilak bring energy to our lives and may it inspire our nation to scale new heights of glory," he said in an X post.
Ram Mandir in Ayodhya witnessed a historic event. For about three minutes, a ray of sunlight anointed the forehead of the Ram Lalla idol. The "Sury Tilak" ritual was performed at noon through an elaborate system connected to mirrors and lenses in the temple.
Earlier, addressing the rally, PM Modi pointed out that Lord Rama had been sitting in the Ayodhya temple for 500 years.
