Recently, people across the country celebrated the consecration of Ram Janmabhoomi temple or Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Several known personalities graced the occasion with their presence and Indians across the world had their eyes on the screen as the rituals unfolded in the temple.
However, Ayodhya isn’t the only place where the Pran Prathishtha of the Ram Mandir took place. All across the globe, the first ever Lord Ram temple was consecrated in Mexico.
The Ram Mandir is located in the city of Queretaro in Mexico, which also hosted its first Hanuman temple. The entire ceremony was performed by an American priest and was hosted by Mexican people.
The idols, on the other hand, were brought from India.
According to the Hindustan Times, several Indians were present for the ceremony and they sang religious songs and hymns to celebrate the occasion. The temple was then inaugurated and opened for devotees.
The Indian Embassy in Mexico took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news. Have a look:
