PERFORMS SHRI RAM YANTRA STHAPANA BY ADHERING TO THE IDEALS OF RAM RAJYA, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD A NATION FOUNDED UPON MORALITY AND RIGHTEOUS CONDUCT: PRESIDENT DROUPADI MURMU Posted On: 19 MAR 2026 3:24PM by PIB Delhi The President of India Smt Droupadi Murmu visited Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir at Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, today (March 19, 2026) and had Darshan of Ram Lalla. She also performed Darshan and Aarti at various places within the Ram Janambhoomi Mandir and performed the Shri Ram Yantra Sthapana and Pujan. Speaking on the occasion, the President said that it is her supreme privilege to touch the sacred dust of Ayodhya, the city where Prabhu Shri Ram was born. She stated that it is a truly blessed occasion for her to be present on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, marking the commencement of Samvatsar 2083 and the first day of Navratri. The President said that the dates marking the Bhoomi Pujan of this supremely sacred Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the Pran Pratishtha of the divine idol of Ram Lalla here, the opening of the Ram Darbar for devotees, and the hoisting of the religious flag atop the temple's spire are golden in our history and culture. The President said that we are all moving forward towards the creation of an inclusive society and a developed nation. With the blessings of Prabhu Shri Ram, we shall achieve these goals by the year 2047, perhaps even sooner. In the 21st century, the vision of our inclusive society and developed nation finds resonance in the description of Ram Rajya. Goswami Tulsidas states that in Ram Rajya, no one is sorrowful, destitute, dependent on others, devoid of intellect, or lacking in moral values. The President said that the ideal of Ram Rajya embodies the highest standards of economic prosperity and social harmony. Numerous instances of Prabhu Shri Ram’s life exemplify the ideal of embracing an all-encompassing and all-inclusive philosophy of life. She was happy to note that in the contemporary context, national goals including social inclusion and economic justice have been set, and are being translated into action. She said that by adhering to the ideals of Ram Rajya, we will be able to build a nation founded upon morality and righteous conduct. The President said that the renaissance of our country is taking place in all dimensions – economic, social, political and cultural. The President said that citizens should move forward with the spirit of unity. She said that united by the sacred bond of devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram, and embracing a sense of kinship towards everyone, we should engage in nation-building.
