Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi is going to visit the state of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh on 16th and 17th January. He will pray at the Veerbhadra Temple, in Lepakshi and will also hear verses from the Ranganatha Ramayan which is in Telugu. PM Modi is visiting Lepakshi which holds a special place in Ramayana, just 6 days before the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the grand Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.

Significance of Veerbhadra Temple

It is said that Lepakshi is the place where Jatayu, after having been grievously wounded by Ravan who was abducting Ma Sita, fell. The dying Jatayu who told Lord Rama that Ma Sita was indeed taken south by Ravan was then granted Moksha by Lord Ram.

The visit to Lepakshi comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Shree Kala Ram Mandir in Nashik. Few days back, PM Modi visited Panchvati, situated on the banks of the Godavari river in Nashik. He offered prayers at the Kala Ram Mandir and heard the verses relating to Ayodhya aagman of Bhagwan Ram from Ramayan in Marathi
