Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the Ram Temple at Ayodhya as the rituals for the consecration ceremony began at noon on Monday.
Wearing a white and gold dhoti-kurta, the prime minister walked to the temple with a offering in hand and climbed up the stairs to entre the grand structure.
After entering the temple, the prime minister passed the offering -- a silver chhatra (umbrella for the idol) and a red chunni -- to a priest.
The prime minister then took ‘sankalp' for the consecration ceremony and joined the rituals along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
After the ceremony, PM Modi will address a gathering and visit Kuber Tila.
The prime minister offered flowers at the feet of the idol and performed an aarti.
The prime minister also performed a "dandavat pranam" to the idol after the consecration ceremony.
