After hoisting the saffron flag at Ayodhya's Ram Temple, PM Narendra Modi said, "The divine energy of Lord Shri Ram now stands enshrined in form of this dharma-dhwaj at the temple." He said the flag was not merely a symbol but "represented resurgence of Indian civilisation." He added that since Pran Pratistha, nearly 45 crore devotees have visited Ram Temple.
