PM Modi had earlier urged the devotees to light 'Ram Jyoti' at home and celebrate a 'mini Diwali' to mark the consecration ceremony. 

New Delhi: Following the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla at the newly constructed Ram temple in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and several other BJP leaders lit 'diyas' (earthen lamps) at their residence to mark the historic event.

Taking to social media platform X, PM Modi shared photos of him lighting a 'diya' in front of a photograph of the Ram statue from the Ayodhya temple at his official residence. 

As per PTI, PM Modi had earlier urged the devotees to light 'Ram Jyoti' at home and celebrate a 'mini Diwali' to mark the consecration ceremony. 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also celebrated by lighting a 'Ram Jyoti' at his residence, to mark the Ayodhya Ram Temple 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony.

The defence minister also shared photographs of him lighting a 'Ram Jyoti' at his residence on platform X.

"Today Ram Lalla is seated in his new, divine, and grand temple in Ayodhya Dham. The whole country is celebrating Diwali. On this auspicious occasion, lighting a 'Ram Jyoti' at home with family," he wrote in Hindi. 

Nitin Gadkari was joined at his residence by the students from a school for hearing-impaired children, who participated in the prayers with the minister and his family. 

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw also lit a 'diya' at his residence and said this was a historic day. 

The fervour and merriment of Ram Mandir's inauguration was atop across the globe as Ram Lord's exile of 500 years finally ended post the pran pratishtha ceremony on Monday.

The new Ram Lalla idol was consecrated at the Ayodhya temple today, an event led by Prime Minister Modi and watched by lakhs of people on television and social media at their homes and in temples across the country.

Army helicopters showered flower petals on the newly constructed Janmabhoomi temple as the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony took place -- a seminal occasion in India's political and religious history.
