Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22 in a grand ceremony. Over 25 lakh devotees have visited the temple since its consecration, and flight and train services in Ayodhya have allowed good connectivity to the city.
The religious fervour among devotees was witnessed on the first flight to Ayodhya on January 11, when fliers dressed as Lord Ram and Hanuman turned up at the Ahmedabad airport to catch the IndiGo flight.
A similar video has surfaced on social media showing IndiGo fliers onboard a flight singing bhajan "mid-air" on their way to the city.
The undated video from the plane shows a passenger playing dholak (an Indian drum) and singing 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram', a popular bhajan (a religious song) and other passengers singing along.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Minister of State VK Singh jointly inaugurated SpiceJet's direct flight service connecting Ayodhya with eight cities.
"The commencement of non-stop flight services by SpiceJet to Ayodhya from Darbhanga, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Jaipur, Patna, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru not only enhances Ayodhya's connectivity but also holds the potential to boost tourism," Yogi Adityanath said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in the temple city of Ayodhya after inaugurating the Ayodhya Railway Station on December 30.
