In a letter, Patel highlighted the historic significance of the Pran Pratishta festival of Shree Ram idol in Ayodhya, which PM Modi is set to celebrate after centuries of struggle. The request, made on behalf of Shri Shiv Parivar, aims to enable people across the state to partake in the auspicious event by enjoying live telecasts of the grand temple programs on this sacred day.
