PM Modi visited Ayodhya's Saptmandir before the Ram Temple flag-hoisting ceremony. The temple holds deep spiritual significance as it honours seven key figures connected to Lord Rama's life-his gurus Vashishtha, Vishwamitra and Agastya; sage Valmiki; and devotees Ahalya, Nishadraj Guha and Shabari. Their temples sit within the Ram Temple complex, symbolising their guidance, loyalty and devotion.
