Source-derived summary

Ram Mandir Dhwajarohan (Devanagari: राम मंदिर ध्वजारोहण) or Ram Mandir Flag Hoisting was the ceremonial raising of the sacred flag (Dharma Dhwaj) on November 25, 2025, atop the 161-foot (49 m) gold-plated spire of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. The temple is situated on the banks of the Sarayu River in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. The ceremony was led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Historical context

Following the Supreme Court verdict that awarded the disputed land for the construction of the temple, Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the bhoomi pujan (groundbreaking ceremony) on August 5, 2020. The temple was inaugurated on January 22, 2024, marked by the pran pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of Ram Lalla.

Although the temple was opened to devotees following the consecration in January 2024, construction of the temple's main spire remained unfinished. By November 25, 2025, the construction of the main spire, designed in the North Indian Nagara architectural style, was completed. The installation of a 42-foot (13 m) flagstaff atop this 161-foot (49 m) spire marked the official conclusion of the temple’s structural construction. Prime Minister Modi characterized the flag-hoisting ceremony as the purnahuti (final culmination) of a 500-year yajna (sacred endeavor).

November 25 coincided with Vivaha Panchami, celebrated as the wedding anniversary of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ram Mandir Dhwajarohan” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mandir, Dhwajarohan and ceremony provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q137145225. Authority coordinates are 26.796, 82.194. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2020 and 2024.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
