Former litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, Iqbal Ansari, said on Sunday that there is excitement in Ayodhya ahead of the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, scheduled for November 25.

The flag will be hoisted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

"... The construction work of the Ram Mandir has been completed. Prime Minister Modi is fortunate to hoist the flag at the Ram Mandir. In Ayodhya, we respect all religions..."

"...Sab ka vikaas hona chahiyee...Everyone is excited and happy about the flag hoisting ceremony"

Meanwhile, a cleanliness drive was launched in Ayodhya ahead of the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, scheduled for November 25.

Ayodhya is preparing for a landmark moment on November 25, when a flag hoisting ceremony at the sanctum sanctorum of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple will mark the completion of its main construction.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the saffron flag atop the Shri Ram Temple, a momentous occasion expected to attract massive domestic and international footfall, said a release. This influx of visitors will stimulate growth across multiple sectors, including hospitality, travel, local crafts, and ODOP-linked products such as jaggery. Business worth several crores is anticipated during this period.

The ceremony is set to elevate Ayodhya's tourism and cultural vibrancy to unprecedented heights. As millions of devotees gather, the city's economic momentum will accelerate, benefiting hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, security services, event management firms, and local vendors.

Notably, Indologist Lalit Mishra's groundbreaking discovery has brought Ayodhya's ancient flag back to its rightful place. Mishra stumbled upon the flag while studying a painting from the pictorial Ramayana of Mewar, later confirming its mention in Valmiki Ramayana's Ayodhya Kand.

The flag will carry three symbols: Om, the Sun, and the Kovidara tree.

Kovidar tree is a hybrid of the Mandar and Parijat trees, created by Rishi Kashyap and showcasing ancient plant hybridisation. The Sun symbol represents Lord Ram's Suryavansh lineage, and Om is the eternal spiritual sound. (ANI)
