He further elaborated on the historical significance, stating, “Thousands of years ago, Lord Ram rested and worshipped Lord Shiv at a holy place in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, while he was on his way to Sri Lanka in search of Mata Sita.” The UP CM added, “It is said that Mata Sita worshipped at the Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple when she was returning from Sri Lanka with Lord Ram.”

Chief Minister Adityanath will also inaugurate a Shiva temple at Ramsevak Puram, the site where Ram devotees performed havan for a month during the Ram Temple movement. He will offer the final oblation (purnahuti) in the ongoing yajna for the consecration of the temple and hoist the flag atop the temple.
Additionally, the Chief Minister will attend a program commemorating the birth anniversary of the late Ashok Singhal, the founder of the Vishva Hindu Parishad and a key figure in the Ram Temple movement. During this event, he will honor the best Vedic school, the best Sanskrit teacher, and the top-performing student in the country.
Earlier, on Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath distributed appointment letters to 1,334 junior engineers, computer technicians, and foremen selected by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).
Speaking at the event in Lucknow, CM Yogi took a dig at Akhilesh Yadav and Shivpal Singh Yadav, accusing them of corruption during their tenure. He stated, “Why didn’t people earlier get appointment letters? The reason was that their intention was not clear. ‘Chacha-Bhatija’ was in a race of doing ‘vasooli’.”
