In a significant cultural endeavor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to embark on a temple tour across Tamil Nadu today, paving the way for the upcoming Ram Temple consecration ceremony. The day's journey commences at the ancient Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Tiruchirappalli, where, at 11:00 am, PM Modi will engage in a program resonating with spiritual verses from the Kamba Ramayanam.

Later, around 2:00 pm, the Prime Minister will arrive at Rameswaram, offering Darshan and Pooja at the revered Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple. Aligning with his recent tradition, PM Modi will partake in the 'Shri Ramayana Paryana' program, featuring diverse renditions of Ramkathas in languages like Marathi, Malayalam, Telugu, Sanskrit, Awadhi, Kashmiri, Gurumukhi, Assamese, Bengali, Maithili, and Gujarati.

This initiative emphasizes the cultural harmony encapsulated in 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.' Further, the Prime Minister will immerse himself in Bhajan Sandhya, contributing to the evening's devotional atmosphere at the temple complex.

Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, nestled in Srirangam, Trichy, stands as a testament to India's ancient heritage. Known for its architectural brilliance and iconic gopurams, it worships Sri Ranganatha Swamy, a reclining form of Bhagwaan Vishnu. The temple's history intertwines with Ayodhya, where the idol worshipped here was given by Lord Rama to Vibhishana during his journey to Lanka.

Looking ahead, on January 21, PM Modi's pilgrimage extends to Dhanushkodi, where he will perform Darshan and Pooja at Kothandaramaswamy Temple. Notably, he will also visit Arichal Munai, believed to be the origin of the Ram Setu.

In this spiritual journey, PM Modi retraces the roots of Indian culture, fostering unity and diversity, and making a profound impact on the cultural and religious landscape.
