PM Modi hoists saffron flag atop Ram Mandir spire
India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi just raised a 22-foot saffron flag on the main spire of Ayodhya's Ram Mandir, officially marking the temple's structural completion.
The event drew sadhus, dignitaries, and trust members, with the temple walls now featuring detailed carvings from Valmiki's Ramayana and bronze artworks.
Why does it matter?
This moment lined up with Vivah Panchami—the day celebrating Lord Ram and Sita's wedding—making it extra special for devotees.
The new triangular flag, showing a Sun, 'Om,' and Kovidara tree, isn't just a symbol; it wraps up centuries of work and puts Ayodhya firmly on the map as a top pilgrimage spot for years to come.
