'Ram Lalla's First Surya Tilak On Ram Navami An Emotional Moment': PM Modi Shares Images

Ram Navami Surya Tilak 2024: PM Narendra Modi shared a photo of him getting 'emotional' as he streamed the video of the historic Ram Lalla Surya Tilak at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

Ram Navami Surya Tilak 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who stopped his election speech in Assam's Nalbari to pay respect to Lord Ram on the occasion of Ram Navami on Wednesday, has said that he became emotional when he witnessed the historic event on video. "After my Nalbari rally, I watched the Surya Tilak on Ram Lalla. Like crores of Indians, this is a very emotional moment for me. The grand Ram Navami in Ayodhya is historic. May this Surya Tilak bring energy to our lives and may it inspire our nation to scale new heights of glory," he said in an X post.

Barely an hour before he posted the photos of him watching the video of Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak, PM Modi had asked the people of Assam's Nalbari to participate with him in paying homage to the deity.

While addressing a public meeting, PM Modi urged the crowd to turn on the flashlights of the mobile phones as a mark of respect to Lord Ram. "Even if it's broad daylight, we can participate in Lord Ram's Surya Tilak by shining the light from our cellphones," he said while urging the crowd to chant "Jai Shree Ram" with him.

The 'Surya Tilak' ceremony of the Ram Lalla idol at the Ayodhya Ram temple was held at noon. It involved the placement of an apparatus of lenses and mirrors at certain angles to illuminate the forehead of the idol at exactly noon. The ceremony lasted 2.5 to 3 minutes as temple priests at the Ayodhya Ram mandir chanted prayers and conducted Lord Ram's aarti. The 'Surya Tilak' was around 58 mm in diameter. Check out the historic 'Surya Tilak' ceremony video below.
