Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Ram temple in Ayodhya on Sunday, his first visit since the temple inauguration in January. 

In a televised ceremony two days ahead of the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi was seen prostrating before the Ram Lalla idol.

Earlier in the day, he had addressed rallies in Etawah and Sitapur.

The entrance gates to the temple were decorated with flowers, with 'Om' formed with yellow petals. Replicas of a bow and an arrow made using flowers were also seen at various places.

According to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, Ram Lalla seated in the temple wore a light pink attire on Sunday.
