Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit multiple temples in Tamil Nadu, including Sri Ranganathaswamy temple in Tiruchirappalli and Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy temple in Rameswaram on January 20-21.
At Sri Ranganathaswamy temple, Modi will listen to scholars reciting verses from the Kamba Ramayanam on January 20 morning. He will reach Rameswaram in the afternoon and perform darshan and pooja at Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy temple, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
On January 21, Modi will visit Kothandaramaswamy temple in Dhanushkodi. The prime minister will also visit Arichal Munai which is believed to be the place from where the Ram Setu was built.
Modi has been visiting temples across the country ahead of the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
On Wednesday, he visited the famous Guruvayoor Sri Krishna temple and Triprayar Sree Ramaswamy temple in Kerala’s Thrissur.
Modi will be the main "yajman" at the consecration ceremony. Typically, the yajman is the main host of a puja -- the person on whose behalf the prayers are offered.
