Indian diaspora members are planning numerous events to mark Ram Temple inauguration in north Indian town of Ayodhya on January 22.

Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), told UNI, “We have almost a dozen events across the United States where they will be celebrating Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ram Temple (opening of the Temple) all the way from New York Times Square. If you go to Boston, you go to Washington, DC, you go to LA or San Francisco, there are events basically lined up, which will happen at the same time as the ceremony in India happens.”

Aghi emphasized that the Ram Temple event has a cultural, emotional, and religious connection with the Indian American community.

“But that shows that the culture of Indian Americans, which moved to the US, 5 million, is with them, and they are connected both emotionally, economically, and I would say, religiously. And that shows that momentum in the US also. So I think there will be a lot of celebration on January 22,” he added.

According to reports, more than 40 billboards featuring Lord Ram and the Ram Temple have been installed across the US ahead of the inauguration ceremony.
