‘Somnath to Ayodhya Ram Naam Mantra Lekhan Yagya’ was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Gujarat by writing the name of Ram for the first time after the meeting of Somnath Trust held at Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar.

The Chief Minister congratulated the Somnath Trust for building a bridge in the form of Ram Naam Lekhan of united India by connecting the devotees from India and abroad coming to Somnath with the Ram Naam Mantra Lekhan Yagya. At the time of consecration of the grand Ram temple being built in Ayodhya, the Ram Naam mantras written in Somnath will be dedicated.
