Bhutan PM reaches Ayodhya, to offer prayers at Ram Temple - The Statesman

Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay's visit highlights the strengthening of Bhutan-India cultural and spiritual bonds, with prayers at key temples during a four-hour stay in Ayodhya.

  • On September 5, Bhutan Prime Minister Dasho Tshering Tobgay and his spouse Aum Tashi Doma arrived in Ayodhya and spent four hours offering prayers at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and Hanumangarhi.
  • Tobgay's programme included the Consecration Ceremony at Rajgir, Bihar, where he thanked India for continuing the Nalanda spirit and allowing Bhutan to build a temple there.
  • Landing at Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhya around 0935, Tobgay was received by Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi; his convoy traveled about 15 kilometres via Prayagraj and the Lucknow-Gorakhpur highway with elaborate security deployments including PAC, CRPF, SSF, ATS, STF and district administration.
  • The visit served as a cultural-diplomatic gesture, with Bhutanese dignitaries offering prayers at the Shri Ram Lalla temple and officials organizing a special lunch to honor Tobgay, strengthening India–Bhutan cultural and diplomatic ties.
  • The visit will conclude on September 6, and Tobgay is expected to depart Ayodhya for Delhi around 1:30 pm, marking his second official trip to India this year that officials say underscores close cooperation.
