Adani said in his post on X, "On this auspicious day, as the Ayodhya Mandir's doors open, let it be a gateway to enlightenment and peace, binding the communities with the timeless threads of Bharat's spiritual and cultural harmony."

The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will be inaugurated today amid much grandeur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the Ram Mandir inauguration from 12:20 pm onwards. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are present at the Ram Temple.

Moreover, Mahindra Group chairperson Anand Mahindra talked about Lord Rama in his Monday motivation post. Mahindra said in his post, "it won't surprise you that my Monday motivation this morning is the Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram. Because he is a figure that transcends religion."

He further said that regardless of the faith, everyone is "drawn to the concept of a being that is dedicated to living with honour and with strong values." "His arrows are targeted at evil & injustice.  The state of  ‘Ram Rajya’—ideal governance—is an aspiration for all societies. Today, the word ‘RAM’ belongs to the world…," Anand Mahindra said towards the end of his post.
