Ayodhya, November 25, 2025 —Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat hoisted the “Dharma” flag atop the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
For centuries and millennia, this sacred flag will proclaim the principles and values of Lord Ram, said Modi on the occasion.
The Prime Minister said that “Ayodhya witnesses a historic turning point in India’s cultural consciousness. The entire nation, and indeed the world, is filled with the spirit of Ram.”
“Centuries-old wounds are being healed, long-standing pain is finding rest, and a centuries-old vow is finally being fulfilled. Today marks the culmination of a 500-year-long yagya, a yajna that remained steadfast in faith and unwavering in belief,” added the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said, “The Dharmadhwaj is more than a flag; it is a symbol of the renaissance of Indian civilization. Its saffron hue, the glory of the Suryavansh, the Om symbol, and the Kovidara tree inscribed upon it represent the ideals of Ramrajya.”
This flag embodies determination, struggle, and ultimate success, said Modi, adding: “It is the realization of a dream nurtured for centuries, the culmination of the spiritual efforts of saints, and the devotion of society at large.”
The Prime Minister emphasized that the Ram Temple’s divine courtyard is becoming a beacon of India’s collective strength. It houses seven temples, including those of Maa Shabari and Nishadraj Guhya, alongside shrines of Maa Ahalya, Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Vashistha, Maharishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Agastya, and Saint Tulsidas.
The Prime Minister said that if India is to achieve holistic development and empower its society by 2047, we must awaken the Ram within ourselves. “There can be no better day than today to take this resolution. November 25 marks yet another historic moment of pride in India’s heritage,” he added.
Referring to the Kovidara tree depicted on the flag, PM Modi said it symbolizes the importance of staying rooted. When a civilization forgets its roots, its glory is lost in history, said the Prime Minister.
“The Ayodhya of the future will be a confluence of mythology and modernity, where the sacred waters of the Saryu River will flow alongside the stream of development, creating a harmonious blend of spirituality and technology, including artificial intelligence,” added the Prime Minister.
