Dressed in a golden kurta with a cream-coloured dhoti and patka, the Prime Minister walked into the sanctum sanctorum of the temple holding a silver umbrella on a folded red dupatta.
PM Modi took part in the elaborate ‘pran pratishtha’ rituals in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
Over 8,000 guests have been invited for the ceremony at the grand temple.
