While talking to the media during the consecration of Maa Saryu, JP Nadda said, "After inaugurating Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, it was the wish of all the Chief Ministers to visit Lord Ram in Ayodhya. It is a matter of good fortune that a grand temple of Lord Ram, which has been the centre of faith of Ram devotees for centuries, is building in Ayodhya."

The artists welcomed the guests with Farwahi folk dance.
