Speaking to IANS, chief decorator of the Ram temple, Sanjay Dhavalikar from Maharashtra, said, “I was given the responsibility of decorating the temple, including the floral arrangements at the main gate and the entire complex. We have made the rangoli and also handled the lighting inside the temple. We have also decorated the route from where Prime Minister Modi will come, using various themes. Since the Prime Minister is coming today for the sacred flag hoisting, it feels meaningful to finally see the temple built after years of struggle being completed.”
Sridhar Gaikwad from Pune, who crafted the temple’s brass railings and bells, said, “We have made all the brass railings and bells of the Ram temple. I feel blessed to have contributed to the construction of the Ayodhya temple, and I believe Lord Ram guided us in completing this work.”

The flag specially designed for the temple, measuring 22 feet by 11 feet, marks the completion of the construction of the temple. Designed by a parachute expert from Ahmedabad, it weighs between two to three kilograms and is designed to match the 161-foot-high spire and 42-foot-high flagpole. The flag will have the symbol of Surya, representing the Suryavanshi lineage and divine energy of Lord Rama.
However, guests attending the function will not be allowed to carry mobile phones inside the temple premises.
