The consecration of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir will be done on January 22, marking a historic moment for our nation. PM Modi should be thanked, who has played a pivotal role in making this dream a reality. He has fulfilled the dream of crores of Indians."

As the countdown to the temple's dedication proceeds, the public's excitement and anticipation are apparent.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend the Ram Temple dedication event on January 22. The event has received a lot of attention, with many luminaries from India and overseas being invited to take part in this momentous occasion in Ayodhya, the report added.
