In a spiritually charged event that witnessed the convergence of India’s most beloved devotional singers, the Pran Pratishta ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya turned into a harmonious sanctification through the power of music. Eminent singer Anuradha Paudwal delivered a soul-stirring rendition of Ram Bhajan on the ceremonious Monday, leaving the audience mesmerized.
As the sound of bells and hymns reverberated through the grand Ram Temple, Anuradha Paudwal, adorned in a radiant yellow saree paired with a brown shawl, turned emotional following her performance. Her voice, carrying the weight of devotion, echoed the sentiments of countless hearts gathered at the sacred site. Post performance, while interacting with ANI, the overwhelmed singer expressed, “I have no words. When God decides, nobody can stop him from arriving.” Remarkably, Paudwal was accompanied by her daughter Kavita Paudwal, enhancing the familial sanctity of the occasion.
Not alone in her musical tribute, Anuradha Paudwal shared the stage with other renowned artists united for this historic moment. Shankar Mahadevan and Sonu Nigam lent their dulcet tones as well, performing Ram Bhajan that further sanctified the air ahead of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. The musical renditions were part of the grand event that welcomed special guests across diverse backgrounds—from entertainment, cricket, politics, art, literature, to culture.
Adding to the emotional fervor, Singer Kailash Kher, clad in a light brown kurta accentuated with a red stole, shared his heartfelt elation about the ceremony, stating that it was a long-held dream of his parents to witness such a spiritual event. “In a world governed by intellect, it feels like divinity has descended straight into our hearts. I’m filled with a sense of my parents’ blessings from the heavens on this divine moment,” Kher commented, speaking to ANI.
The celestial mood of the day was articulated perfectly by singer-composer Hariharan. His reaction post attendance evoked a profound connection with the divine proceedings. “I had tears of joy in my eyes…I can’t describe this moment in words, everyone here is so happy,” he said. His attire, a cream-colored kurta paired with a black shawl, resonated with the pure and serene ambiance of the auspicious day.
A poignant remark came earlier from none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took time to acknowledge the devotional artistry portrayed in Hariharan’s ‘Sabne Tumhein Pukara Shree Ram Ji’ ahead of the Pran Pratistha ceremony. Such recognition underscored the importance of music and devotion in elevating the spiritual essence of the landmark event.
Indeed, the Pran Pratishta ceremony was not merely an act of consecration but a symphony of devotion harmonized by the soulful performances of India’s treasured vocalists. As music intertwined with spirit, a cascade of emotions surged among the devotees and participants, transcending them to a state of divine joy. The ceremony, thus, became a milestone not just in the timeline of spiritual events in India, but also a testament to the unifying power of music in the manifest presence of the divine.
