What’s the Significance of Sun and Kovidar Tree on the Flag Hoisted in Ayodhya?

PM Modi Flag Hoisting: PM Narendra Modi today hoisted the flag atop the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, ending a 500-year wait. The havan (sacred ritual), kirtan (sacred chants), and devotional songs captured everyone’s attention. The flag fluttering atop the Ram Temple is no ordinary flag, but rather a symbol of our culture and religious beliefs.

This flag features a shining sun, symbolising brilliance and valour. Consequently, the image of the Sun and the Kovidar tree is accompanied by the inscription Om. This is considered very special. The saffron colour of the flag represents the ideals of Ram Rajya, conveying a message of dignity, unity, and cultural continuity.

Learn the secret of the Sun and the Kovidar tree on the flag

The flag hoisted atop the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya features the Sun and the Kovidar tree. The Sun represents Lord Ram’s lineage, the Suryavansh (the Sun dynasty). Lord Ram was born in the Suryavansh (the Sun dynasty). Furthermore, the Kovidar tree was considered the royal emblem of the state of Ayodhya.

It used to symbolise the city’s power and sovereignty. The Kovidar tree was the royal tree of Ayodhya. Several incidents in the Ramayana also make it clear that the image of the Kovidar tree was depicted on the flag of the Ayodhya Empire.

PM Modi made a significant statement.

During the flag hoisting ceremony of the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya, PM Narendra Modi said that this Dharma Dhwaj is not just a flag, it is the flag of the reawakening of Indian civilisation.

At the same time, its saffron colour, the fame of the Suryavansh dynasty written on it, the word Om inscribed on it, and the Kovidar tree inscribed on it represent the glory of Ram Rajya. He further said that this flag is a resolution, this flag is a success, this flag is a saga of creation through struggle, this flag is the embodiment of dreams that have been cherished for centuries.

This flag is the meaningful culmination of the spiritual practice of saints and the participation of society. For centuries and thousands of centuries to come, this religious flag will proclaim the ideals and principles of Lord Rama, this religious flag will call out Satyamev Jayate, meaning victory is always of truth and not of falsehood.
