{ "title": "PM Modi Set to Unveil Ram Temple Flag in Ayodhya, Marking Grand Finale of Construction", "article": "In a grand ceremony, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to unfurl the 203-foot-tall Ram Temple flag in Ayodhya today, marking the culmination of the construction work that began five years ago. The event will be attended by top dignitaries, including RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and is expected to draw a large crowd. The Ram Temple, built on the site where Hindus believe Lord Ram was born, is a 380-foot-long and 250-foot-wide structure with intricate carvings and a 161-foot-tall spire. The temple complex spans 70 acres and includes seven other temples, a circumambulation path, and smaller shrines. The flag, which features symbols of the Sun, Om, and Kovidar tree, will be hoisted on a 42-foot mast atop the temple's spire. The event will also mark the completion of the construction work, which began with a foundation-laying ceremony on August 5, 2020. During the ceremony, PM Modi will also visit the Saptmandir, a complex of temples dedicated to Hindu saints, and meet with engineers and workers involved in the construction project. The event will be preceded by five days of vedic rituals, led by scholars from Ayodhya and Varanasi. Ayodhya, which has undergone significant transformation in recent years, is expected to welcome a large number of visitors, with around 70,000 to 80,000 people visiting the city daily. The city has seen significant infrastructure development, including the construction of an airport and a modern railway station, and is poised to become a global spiritual smart city. The Ram Temple, which has been the subject of a long-standing dispute, has been built on a 2.77-acre plot, and its construction has been overseen by the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The temple is expected to become a major tourist destination, with the government investing heavily in infrastructure and tourism-led development."
