This special report covers the ‘Dhwaja Rohan’ ceremony at Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, marking the temple’s formal completion on the occasion of Vivah Panchami. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led the hoisting of the ‘dharm dhwaj’. In his address, the Prime Minister called for India to shed its colonial ‘Macaulay mindset’ over the next decade to achieve the goal of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) by 2047. The event occurs as Ayodhya experiences an economic and tourism boom, with over 23 crore visitors recorded in the first half of 2025, bolstering Uttar Pradesh’s ambition to become a one-trillion-dollar economy. The report also features a debate on decolonising mindsets and rewriting Indian history, with participants including BJP spokesperson Dr. Ajay Alok and activist Saira Shah Halim. Alok stated, ‘history has to be rewritten. We cannot glorify invaders.’ The cultural significance of Lord Ram is also explored through interviews with singers.
