(PRIME Minister) Narendra Modi will visit Ayodhya on Tuesday to ceremonially hoist a saffron flag on the spire of the Ram temple, symbolising the com pletion of its construction. Ahead of the Prime Minister’s visit, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviewed the prepa rations here and issued neces sary directions to the concerned officials.

 

The right-angled triangular flag, measuring 10 feet in height and 20 feet in length, bears the image of a radiant Sun sym bolising the brilliance and val our of Lord Rama, with an ‘Om’ inscribed on it along with the image of Kovidara tree, a state ment issued by the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) said. The sacred saffron flag will convey a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity, embodying the ideals of Ram Rajya, the PMO said.

 

The flag will rise atop a ‘shikhar’ constructed in the tra ditional north Indian Nagara architectural style, while the surrounding 800-metre Parkota, a circumambulatory enclosure built around the tem ple designed in the south Indian architectural tradition, will showcase the temple’s diverse architecture, it said.
