"Very emotional": PM Modi praises singer Geeta Rabari for her Bhajan 'Shree Ram Ghar Aaye'

New Delhi [India], January 7 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised singer Geeta Rabari for her Bhajan 'Shree Ram Ghar Aaye,' based on Lord Ram and Ayodhya.
"The wait for the arrival of Ram Lala in the divine grand temple of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya is about to end. My family members across the country are eagerly waiting for the Pran-Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony of Ram Lalla (infant Lord Ram) in Ayodhya. This bhajan of Geetaben Rabari ji to welcome him is very emotional," PM Modi posted on X in Hindi.
Geeta Rabari's song about Lord Rama and Ayodhya comes at the same time as the excitement at the Ram Mandir.
Earlier, addressing countrymen during the 108th episode of his monthly radio broadcast 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi said there was much excitement and enthusiasm across the country ahead of the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya.
"People are finding different channels or outlets to give voice to their feelings around the opening of the Ram Temple. You must have seen that over the past few days, several 'bhajans' (devotional songs) have been composed on the theme of Shri Ram and Ayodhya. Many people are composing verses around the grand consecration event, while experienced and well-regarded artists, emerging poets and lyricists are coming up with soul-stirring 'bhajans'. I have also shared some of these (devotional) songs on my social media handles. It seems that the world of art is adding to the general festive ambience around this historic moment in its own unique style," PM Modi said.
He also acknowledged the poems, prose and other creative elements that are coming to the fore ahead of the Ram Temple opening on January 22.
