In her letter to the Prime Minister, Murmu emphasized that the nationwide atmosphere of celebration reflects an unrestrained manifestation of India's timeless essence, marking the commencement of a new phase in the country's rejuvenation. Murmu complimented PM Modi ahead of the Pran Pratishtha.

As you prepare yourself to go for Pran Pratishtha of Prabhu Shri Ram's murti (idol) at the new temple built at his birthplace in Ayodhya, I can only contemplate the unique civilisational journey that will be accomplished with each step taken by you in the hallowed precincts, she said.

Murmu in her letter also referred to the 11-day rigorous anushthan' the prime minister has undertaken, and said that it is not only a sacred ritual but also a supreme spiritual act of sacrifice and submission to Lord Ram. We all are fortunate to witness the commencement of a new cycle in the resurgence of our nation, she said.
