After 500 years of exile, Lord Rama now sits in his Ayodhya palace, with Ramlala's idol deeply embedded in the hearts of millions of devotees.

According to Indian media, this has fulfilled the dreams of countless devotees after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has realised the vision of seeing Lord Ram at his birthplace.

This moment honors the struggles and sacrifices of devotees who dedicated their lives to the Ram temple's construction.

Modi observed an 11-day fast, purifying body and mind for this unique task.

The Ram Lalla Mandir will be open to the public from today after Modi presided over the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony yesterday.

The Ram Mandir inauguration marks a significant moment in India's cultural and religious history, drawing attention not only from the nation but also from global audiences.

To commemorate the event many Hindus in Fiji had Ramayan sessions at their homes along with lighting of diya’s to welcome Lord Rama into their homes.

Shree Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji had also organised celebrations at the Kshatriya Hall in Suva yesterday for people to take the opportunity of the moment and be part of it.

Sabha President Dhirendra Nand says they encouraged youths in singing Ram kirtans and bhajans and get together to try and learn about Lord Ram and his good qualities and how youths can use these values in their daily lives.
