New Delhi, Dec 31 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's journey throughout 2025 has emerged as a comprehensive account filled with pivotal moments, intertwining national security, governance, diplomacy, spirituality, and profound human connections.

From Operation Sindoor to the significant Dhwajarohan Utsav at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir, the year became a vibrant tapestry of devotion, decisive leadership, developmental accomplishments, and engagement with the populace.

The Prime Minister's schedule was filled with meaningful interactions with citizens, visits to revered temples, strategic outreach to border areas, as well as the inauguration and assessment of major infrastructure projects, and involvement in initiatives focusing on grassroots empowerment.

Many of these instances were documented in photographs shared on narendramodi.in, resonating broadly and establishing the visual narrative of the year.

A major political milestone of 2025 was the decisive success of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance in the Bihar Assembly elections.

The NDA claimed victory in 202 out of 243 seats, thoroughly defeating the Rashtriya Janata Dal-led Mahagathbandhan, which secured only 35 seats. Incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took his oath for a record.

Images of Prime Minister Modi with Nitish Kumar, particularly the iconic 'gamcha' moment at the BJP headquarters post-victory, dominated headlines and social media.

On the front of national security, Operation Sindoor emerged as a significant highlight of the year. In response to the heinous Pahalgam terror attack, India executed decisive military actions against critical terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

During this pivotal period, Prime Minister Modi convened a series of high-level meetings with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, the Chiefs of the Armed Forces, and other senior officials. He granted a 'free hand' to the Armed Forces to target terror hubs.

After the successful completion of Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister shared heartfelt moments with personnel at the Adampur Air Force Base in Punjab, expressing appreciation for their bravery and professionalism.

He also observed a spectacular air power exhibition aboard the INS Vikrant in Goa during Diwali, symbolizing India's expanding maritime and aerial prowess.

Infrastructure and strategic connectivity played a crucial role in PM Modi's 2025 journey. One of the most striking photographs captured the Prime Minister waving the national flag during his visit to the Chenab Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Chenab Bridge, located in Reasi district, is recognized as the world's highest railway arch bridge, towering at 359 meters, surpassing the height of the Eiffel Tower by about 35 meters.

Situated near the border with Pakistan, this bridge ensures all-weather rail connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of India, marking an essential transformation for the region.

Faith and cultural heritage formed another significant aspect of the year. Alongside Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Prime Minister Modi hoisted the sacred 'Dharma Dhwaja' atop the spire of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.

The historic Dhwajarohan Utsav stirred emotions of devotion and fulfillment among devotees nationwide. Beyond Ayodhya, the Prime Minister visited numerous revered religious sites.

He offered prayers at the Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple in Tamil Nadu, visited the Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math in Goa, and sought blessings from the Chief of the Anuradhapura Atamasthana, Pallegama Hemarathana Thera, in Sri Lanka.

During Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, he took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, meditated, and performed 'darshan' and 'puja' at the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Varla Devasthanam in Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh, and visited the Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi, Karnataka.

On the international stage, several photographs of PM Modi alongside global leaders garnered significant international attention.

Among the most discussed images were those featuring the Prime Minister with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The three leaders were captured sharing warm moments, stirring considerable online buzz amid tariff threats from Washington and evolving global economic landscapes.

Another widely talked-about moment occurred during PM Modi's visit to Washington in February, where he met US President Donald Trump. Their camaraderie was vividly captured when President Trump gifted a book to the Prime Minister at the White House, inscribed with the words, "Mr Prime Minister, You are Great".

Beyond formalities, striking gestures of personal warmth were highlighted, including when Jordan's Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II personally transported PM Modi to the Jordan Museum in Amman, and when Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali drove him to see him off.

PM Modi's interactions with the family of US Vice President J.D. Vance also attracted attention, notably his lighthearted exchanges with Vance's children at his residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.

His engagements with other world leaders included a ceremonial reception by Mauritian Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam in Port Louis, Saudi Air Force jets escorting his aircraft during his visit to Saudi Arabia, meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Johannesburg, and discussions with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva during the 51st G7 Summit at Kananaskis, Canada.

The Prime Minister received a standing ovation in the Ethiopian Parliament and a warm welcome upon arrival in Johannesburg. He was also honored with the highest accolades from multiple nations in 2025.

Throughout the year, PM Modi's interactions with children and students went viral, showcasing a more personal side of his leadership.

From moments when young girls tied rakhi on his wrist during Raksha Bandhan to his engagements with J.D. Vance's children, these images resonated widely.

During 'Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025', he engaged with students at Sunder Nursery in New Delhi, while brief interactions with students in Chhattisgarh also gained attention.

One particularly heartwarming moment featured a young child folding her hands in a "Namaste" while meeting the Prime Minister. In another instance, PM Modi had a playful exchange with a child and treated him at his office.

His affection for animals was also showcased during the year. A photograph of the Prime Minister with a calf at his official residence captivated social media. He additionally visited Gir National Park in Gujarat on World Wildlife Day, emphasizing his commitment to wildlife conservation.

Sporting achievements and social inclusion were also highlighted in PM Modi's interactions. He met with members of the Indian Women's Cricket Team following their World Cup success and engaged with players from the Indian Women's Blind Cricket Team, celebrating their accomplishments and resilience.

At the grassroots level, the Prime Minister maintained direct engagement with beneficiaries of government initiatives. In 2025, he interacted with residents of Swabhiman Apartments in Delhi, farmers during a Krishi programme in the national capital, visitors at the Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and a divyangjan during an event in Gaya, Bihar.

He also met women from Bhuj who had rebuilt the local airbase in just 72 hours during the 1971 war despite Pakistani assaults, recognizing their courage and contributions.

One of the most emotionally charged instances of the year was when PM Modi presented a pair of shoes to Rampal Kashyap in Haryana. Kashyap had vowed 14 years earlier not to wear footwear until Modi became Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister also paid homage to a family member of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in Dediapada, Gujarat, honoring the legacy of the tribal icon.

Mass outreach through roadshows remained a pivotal aspect of PM Modi's public engagement. He conducted numerous roadshows throughout the year, including a significant one in Patna ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.

Another unforgettable moment transpired during a roadshow in Ahmedabad, where a woman holding an 'aarti thali' broke down in tears of joy at the sight of the Prime Minister, a scene that quickly went viral.

The year also saw the Prime Minister partaking in events celebrating 100 years of the RSS and its selfless dedication to the nation.

On this occasion, he unveiled a specially designed commemorative postage stamp and coin in New Delhi.

During his visit to Nagpur, he paid floral tributes to RSS founder Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar at Smruti Mandir.

As the year drew to a close, PM Modi attended the Christmas morning service at the Cathedral Church of the Redemption in Delhi. The gathering prayed for his well-being, culminating his eventful 2025 journey in a reflective and inclusive manner, reinforcing images of leadership that encompassed power, faith, diplomacy, and profound connections with the populace.
