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.
