Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at Sree Ramaswami Temple, Thriprayar, in Thrissur district of Kerala, a famous Ram temple in South India, on January 17 (Wednesday).
The Prime Minister’s visit to the temple on the banks of Thriprayar River, devoted to Lord Rama (known as Thriprayar Thevar), gains importance in the wake of the consecration at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
Mr. Modi, who landed in a helicopter at Vocational Higher Secondary School ground, Valapad, at 10.10 a.m. from Guruvayur, around 20 minutes ahead of the scheduled time, went to the temple, which is 2 km away, by road. He waved at the people thronged on both sides of the road. People greeted him with floral petals.
