A successful trial was conducted for hoisting a special flag on the Ram temple’s spire in Ayodhya on Saturday, more than two months ahead of the official ceremony on November 25, said a temple trust office bearer.
During the trial, the successfully fluttered for approximately 30 minutes to test the new hoisting system, people privy to the development in the temple trust said.
A special pulley and stainless steel wire rope system has been installed on the temple spire to raise and lower the flag easily, a person associated with the trust said.
This system used high-tension stainless steel capable of withstanding conditions like strong winds.
The trial was conducted in the presence of engineers from L&T and Tata Consultancy, along with officials from the trust.
According to an official of the trust, special attention was given to balance.
Considering the height and structure of the 161-foot spire and its 42-foot flagstaff, the flag will be designed to easily withstand wind pressure. The flags for all eight temples, including the Ram temple, will be different. The flag to be hoisted on the Ram temple’s spire will be unique.
The permanent flag’s size is still under discussion, but it is expected to be between eight and nine feet and made of high-quality durable fabric to withstand wind, possibly saffron or yellow, a person associated with the trust said.
