Meanwhile in Ram Janmabhoomi, Ayodhya, on the occasion of Ram Navami, the temple witnessed the 'Surya Tilak' illuminating the forehead of Ram Lalla.

The 'Surya Tilak' occurred exactly at noon when a beam of sunlight precisely directed on the forehead idol of Ram Lalla and formed a celestial tilak.

Visuals showed priests offering prayers to Ram Lalla during the Surya Tilak.

Ram Sethu, also known as Adam's bridge is a 48 kilometre chain of lime-stone bridge, connecting Rameswaram island in India to Mannar island in Sri Lanka. The lime stone shoal connections hold mythological significance, believed to be the bridge with Ram made to reach Lanka in the Ramayan to rescue his wife, Sita.
