Ayodhya, Nov 25 (NationPress) The ceremony of hoisting the ‘Dharma Dhwaj’ atop the Ram Temple by Prime Minister Narendra Modi stirred deep emotions within the hearts of saints, seers, and thousands of Rambhakts. They gathered in large numbers at the temple complex on Tuesday to witness this historic event.

Manish Tripathi, who designed the divine attire for Lord Ram, expressed his overwhelming emotions during the flag-hoisting ceremony. In conversation with IANS, he reflected on the significance of this moment, stating that it is a source of immense pride for the entire nation and a deeply emotional experience for all.

He commended Prime Minister Modi for realizing a long-cherished dream and expressed gratitude for being able to witness the ‘dhwajarohan’ ceremony up close.

“This moment stands as a proud moment for the whole country and for all who are linked to Sanatan Dharma. Words fail to convey my emotions. I feel fortunate to have seen the Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha and the flag hoisting ceremony firsthand. The emotions are overwhelming,” he shared.

Recalling his childhood, he reminisced, “I hail from a village close to Ambedkar Nagar, near Ayodhya. The difference between the Ayodhya of the past and the present is monumental. Now, the king's palace is complete, and Lord Shri Ram resides within it. I am deeply grateful to PM Modi and CM Yogi for making this possible.”

Manish Tripathi is the designer of sacred garments for the entire Ram Darbar, including Ram Lalla, Maa Janaki, his brothers, and Lord Hanuman. He takes great pride in this role.

In a prior interview, he shared the joy he felt when receiving the call from the Ram Temple Trust, feeling as though he was on 'top of the world'.

“My ancestors must have performed noble deeds to allow me this opportunity to serve Ram Lalla,” he noted.

He also disclosed that the garments worn by Lord Ram Lalla are not reused and that the temple trust is contemplating distributing the old clothes to devotees as ‘prasad’.
