Bhubaneswar, Jan 22: Ahead of the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, women organisations in Bhubaneshwar organised a mega rally to celebrate the historic event.

Marwadi Mahila Samiti, Friends of Tribal Society, Dadi Mandali, and members of various yoga organisations marched from Cuttack Road to Sriram Mandir in Odisha's Bhubaneswar.

"My face can show my level of excitement and enthusiasm. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked hard for this. We were slaves even after so many years of independence, but today we will become truly free and independent. We are united, and everything has become Rammaya," said Sashi Sethia, a woman rally participant.

"It is a big day. We are getting a grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Today's date must be noted down in golden letters. We are full of enthusiasm and joy, said Juhi Agrawal, another participant.

Kusum Sukla, a participant thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the initiative to give Lord Ram a grand temple in Ayodhya.

"Lord Ram has given us everything. We live in big houses because of Him, but He Himself was living under a tent. I thank Modi Ji for making Lord Ram a grand temple."

The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya Temple will be held at 12:30 pm.
