On Jan 22 Consecration of Ram Temple at Ayodhya was organised by the Ram Janmabhoomi Trust, the event marks the culmination of decades old journey for a temple at Ayodhya initially mooted by the Vishva Hindu Parishad and adopted by the BJP in 1989.
The country witnessed a grand event at Ayodhya, the consecration of Ram Temple amid a set of special invitees in attendanceat this township in Uttar Pradesh.

Thousands of pilgrims visited the temple city from Jan 25 onwards. These included a series of special trains with BJP party workers providing ground support to those desirous of undertaking the journey to pay respects at the newly constructed Ram Temple.
A week ahead of the inauguration the BJP had sent its volunteers to clean the city and made it ready for the event.
Our PM had suggested that Jan 22 should be celebrated as Deepawali with homes in every part of the country lighting diyas(lamps), symbolising the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya. The BJP workers joined hands across the country and made it successful, portraying it as a manifestation of people rejoicing over the completion of the temple and Pran Pratishtha.
In the run up to the event, RSS workers had distributed Akshat (raw rice mixed with oil and turmeric powder) that is traditionally sprinkled to bless people after performing religious ceremonies and considered auspicious.
