Ayodhya buzzes with spiritual fervor on the second anniversary of Ram Lalla’s pran pratishtha. January 22, 2024, etched in history when PM Narendra Modi performed the rituals, installing the idol after 500 years of anticipation. Saints are unanimous in crediting Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath for elevating Ayodhya to unprecedented heights.
In a vibrant gathering, Mahant Sitaram Das reflected on the milestone. ‘PM Modi’s leadership brought Ram Lalla home, adorning Ayodhya as per scriptural glory,’ he stated. The city’s makeover—modern yet rooted in tradition—has revitalized Sanatana Dharma. ‘It’s like Treta Yuga reborn; temples everywhere are being renewed.’
Kripalu Maharaj emphasized the festive atmosphere. Special events dot Ayodhya, with ghee diyas illuminating temples at dusk. ‘Two years on, development is astounding—Ram Rajya feels real,’ he beamed, thanking the leaders profusely.
Sharad Sharma detailed the boom: upgraded rail hubs, a gleaming airport, more buses for the faithful. Footfall exploded to 25 crore last year, with 20-22 crore already this year. ‘Devotees prefer Ram Lalla blessings over beach vacations now.’
From Hanumangarhi, Acharya Amit Das proclaimed Ayodhya’s fulfillment post the epic battle. ‘After 500 years, Lord Ram reclaimed His abode, making the city ethereal.’ This anniversary underscores Ayodhya’s journey from contested land to global pilgrimage hub, blending faith, infrastructure, and cultural renaissance under Modi’s stewardship.
