Anurag Thakur wrote on his X post – Rammayi Himachal. There is an influx of Ram devotees from all over the world to see the grand and divine Ram temple built in Ayodhya after 500 years of meditation and waiting. There is immense enthusiasm among the people for the darshan of Ram Lala, everyone is eager to go to Ayodhya Dham and see the child form of Lord Shri Ram in their eyes. Today, I got the privilege of flagging off the Aastha special train filled with hundreds of Ram devotees from the Amb-Andaura railway station of my parliamentary constituency and moving it towards Ayodhya Dham, so that Ram devotees from Devbhoomi Himachal can go to Ayodhya and have darshan of Ram Lalla. This is a historic occasion for Devbhoomi, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav ji for providing such a big facility to Himachal Pradesh on this auspicious day.
