President Murmu had written a letter to PM Modi on the eve of the Ram temple ceremony and hailed his 11-day ‘Anusthan’ as “a supreme spiritual act of sacrifice and submission to Prabhu Shri Ram”.
In response to her letter, Modi said, “I travelled to Ayodhya Dham as a pilgrim. It is a place comprising faith and history. I was overwhelmed after going there.

“In your letter, you had mentioned my 11-day long ‘anushthan’ and the rituals. Our country has witnessed innumerable people who undertook fast for centuries to ensure that Ram Lalla gets back to his own place,” PM Modi’s letter read.
The prime minister said that his mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas” is inspired from Lord Ram.
“Shri Ram who has inspired me to adopt ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas Aur Sabka Prayas’. The country is witnessing results of this mantra. Over the past ten years, 25 crore people have come out of poverty,” the PM wrote.
The gigantic Ram temple in Ayodhya was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a mega ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony which was attended by thousands of VVIP guests.
Addressing the guests after the ceremony, Modi has said that Ram Lalla will no longer reside in a tent.
The prime minister also apologised to Lord Ram over the delay of centuries in building the Ram temple.
“There must be something lacking in our effort, sacrifice and penance that we could not do this work for so many centuries. Today the work has been completed. I believe that Lord Shri Ram will definitely forgive us today,” he said.
He further added, “Ram is not fire, Ram is energy. Ram is not a dispute, Ram is the solution. Ram is not just ours, Ram is everyone’s. Ram is not current, Ram is eternal.”
