Prem Bhandari, the member of the organisation said that the event is being celebrated with much fanfare in the US as well.

He also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for connecting people across the globe with this event.

“We never thought that we would witness this divine day in our lifetime. The Pran Pratishtha ceremony will take place very soon. People in Times Square are also celebrating this and the place is looking no less than Ayodhya. People of the Indian diaspora are celebrating this event at various places,” Prem Bhandari said.

“Lord Ram is returning after ‘vanvaas’ (exile) and all this is taking place due to the leadership of PM Modi. He has made the whole atmosphere in ‘Rammay’ across the world. He has connected not just 140 crore people but the Indian diaspora abroad too with this event. This day is no less than Diwali,” he further added.
