Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the saffron flag atop the 191-foot-high ‘shikhar’ of the Ayodhya Ram Temple. The Dharma Dhwaj, measuring ten feet in height and twenty feet in length, bears the image of a radiant Sun, with an ‘Om’ inscribed on it along with the image of the Kovidara tree. The flag will be placed on a “shikhar” built in the traditional North Indian Nagara style, while the 800-metre Parkota that surrounds the temple follows designs from South India.
