MEXICO: As the world is gearing up for the historic Ram Mandir consecration ceremony or the Pran Pratishtha on January 22 at the holy city of Ayodhya, its impact has transcended national borders and has spread beyond.
The North American country of Mexico got its first-ever temple dedicated to Lord Ram in the Mexican city of Queretaro on Sunday, 21 January. This historic feat comes just a day ahead of the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony or the Pran Pratishtha in the holy city of Ayodhya on January 22.
