PM Modi breaks his fast with Charanamrit after Ram Janmabhoomi Temple 'Pran Prathistha' ceremony in Ayodhya

Ayodhya/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke his 11-day fasting after the "Pran Prathistha" ceremony of Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya on Monday.

Modi broke his fast with Charanamrit (nectar of lord’s feet).

For all these days, the Prime Minister was sleeping on the floor and consuming only coconut water as part of the rituals.

Modi on Monday inaugurated the much-awaited Ram Temple and unveiled the Ram Lalla idol in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya.

Modi was accompanied by RSS chief Mohan Bhagawat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the rituals, which were performed by the Prime Minister.

From celebrities to politicians and seers, Ayodhya is currently overwhelmed by people from far and wide places who hope to witness a watershed religious event that will mark the course of the nation in the coming months. Many of them arrived in private jets for the ceremony.

A majority of Hindus claimed that the site was the birthplace of Lord Ram before Muslim Mughals razed a temple at the spot to build the Babri Masjid.

In a landmark verdict in 2019, the Supreme Court handed over the land to the Hindu community and ordered to allot a separate plot to Muslims.

The temple site remained an issue of bitter contest between Hindus and Muslims with both the religious factions laying claim to it for nearly seven decades.

It also witnessed violence in 1992 when a mob destroyed a 16th-century mosque which stood at the site, which was built over a Hindu temple according to the court's final verdict.
