Devotees line up since 3 am at Ram Temple day after consecration

A day after the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, devotees lined up to get 'darshan' of Ram Lalla.

Visuals from the main gate of the temple showed people gathered in large numbers since 3 am to offer prayers.

The temple was thrown open to the public a day after VVIPs attended the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the consecration rituals inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "tapasvi", saying he followed a far more stringent religious exercise than he needed to for the Ram temple consecration ceremony.

"We heard that the prime minister followed a stringent religious practice before attending the 'pran pratishtha' today. He followed a far more stringent exercise than he was asked to. I know him for a long time. He is a tapasvi," Bhagwat said.
