Creators in Ayodhya
Creators also went out to Ayodhya to seek the blessings of Lord Ram and to witness the historic moment. We spotted the extremely hilarious Meethika Dwivedi along with Gaurav Taneja in the streets of Ayodhya wearing the beautiful ‘Ram tilak’ on their foreheads. The duo posed for a picture together expressing their happiness to be able to be a part of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
Alongside Meethika and Gaurav many creators who have found their fame for creating content around Ayodhya, the Ram temple and the ceremony were also present there. Harshvardhan Verma popularly known as Ayodhyawale was also seen at the glorious event. He rose to fame for documenting the entire journey of the temple, starting from when the foundation stone was laid. Harshvardhan now has 2.5 million followers on his Instagram account. In addition to Ayodhyawale, there are many other accounts including Paavanbhumi Ayodhya that have gained traction for creating content around the Ram temple.
Beginning on January 14, a group of 500 influencers initiated a month-long pilgrimage covering a distance of 4,500 kilometres, retracing the journey undertaken by Lord Ram to Ayodhya from Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu after completing his exile. Organised by the Ram Mahotsav Yatra Samiti, established by the All India Influencers Association, this yatra gained significant attention and was actively endorsed by leaders affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The assembly of popular personalities along with a large number of people from all walks of life marked the religious significance the consecration ceremony and the Ram mandir in Ayodhya has in the lives of Hindus. The entire event was truly one-of-a-kind that will go down in Indian history.
