Dhwajarohan: Details of the Saffron flag hoisted on the Shikhar of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Temple in Ayodhya
The saffron flag conveys a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity, embodying the ideals of Ram Rajya, the release said.
PM Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat performed the ceremonial Dhwajarohan of the saffron flag atop the shikhar of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya today. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also present.
Here are the details of the flag as follows:
The Flag is a right-angled triangular flag, measuring ten feet in height and twenty feet in length. The flag bears the image of a radiant Sun symbolizing the “brilliance and valour” of Bhagwan Shri Ram, with an ‘Om’ inscribed on it along with the image of the Kovidara tree, according to the PM’s Office.

The flag rose atop a Shikhar constructed in the traditional North Indian Nagara architectural style, while the surrounding 800-metre Parkota, a circumambulatory enclosure built around the temple, designed in the South Indian architectural tradition, showcases the temple’s architectural diversity.
The temple complex features 87 intricately carved stone episodes from the life of Bhagwan Shri Ram based on the Valmiki Ramayana on the outer walls of the main temple, and 79 bronze-cast episodes from Indian culture placed along the enclosure walls. Together, these elements provide a meaningful and educational experience to all visitors, offering deep insight into Bhagwan Shri Ram’s life and the cultural heritage of India.
Designer Manish Tripath told PTI,"I am at a loss for words. I became emotional, both as an ordinary person and as a Sanatani. When I was on the stage, and the flag was being raised, that moment was emotional."
The flag hoisting marked the formal completion of the construction of the mandir.
