Arif Mohammed Khan visited and had a darshan of the Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya.

Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan visited and had a darshan of the Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya on Wednesday. Calling the Ram Mandir a place of peace, Khan said that he keeps coming here as he comes from the neighbouring region of Bahraich.

Ahead of his visit, the Kerala Governor at the Ayodhya Dham airport told ANI, "I keep visiting Ayodhya. In January, I visited here twice before the Pran Prathishtha on January 22. I am a neighbour from Bahraich, so I keep coming here. I have come here before, too, but now I will get a chance to have a formal darshan. It feels great to be here, and it gives me immense peace. The entire country has celebrated this (Pran Pratishtha)."

The Ram Temple was opened to the public after Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony on January 22, which was attended by top sportspeople and celebrities.
