Modi congratulated all the devotees and all the citizens of the country on this auspicious moment.
“I am present before you after bearing witness to the divine consciousness in the sanctum sanctorum. There is so much to say, but my throat is choked. My body is still trembling, and my mind is still immersed in that moment,” said the Indian PM.
The PM said the Lord Ram Lalla will no longer reside in a tent. “Our Ram Lalla will now reside in this divine temple. I have firm belief and boundless faith that the experience of what has transpired now will be felt by Ram devotees across the country and around the world.”
