Ayodhya, India – Following the momentous inauguration of the Ram Mandir, devotees from across India thronged the holy site in Ayodhya on Tuesday. With hearts brimming with joy and faith, pilgrims, both local and from distant states, streamed towards the temple since Monday night, eager to witness the newly consecrated abode of Lord Ram.
Security remained tight as the city overflowed with devotees. The 13-kilometer Ram Path leading to the temple was a vibrant tapestry of humanity, with thousands eager to catch a glimpse of the majestic structure. According to the Ayodhya administration, the early hours of Tuesday saw a steady flow of pilgrims, not only from within Ayodhya but also from neighbouring districts.
To manage the swelling crowds, additional security forces were deployed and barricades erected to ensure smooth and orderly entry into the temple complex. The sight of the newly built Ram Mandir, a magnificent creation in traditional Nagara style adorned with intricate carvings, left devotees awestruck. Spanning 380 feet in length and 250 feet in width, the temple, with its tallest spire soaring 161 feet, stands as a testament to devotion and architectural marvel.
This historic moment signifies the culmination of a long-cherished dream for millions of Hindus worldwide. The opening of the Ram Mandir for the general public marks a new chapter in Ayodhya’s history, one filled with spiritual fervor and renewed faith. While challenges remain in managing the influx of devotees, the joy and unity witnessed today reflect the immense significance of this sacred site for the people of India.
