The Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA (HSS) gathered Hindu Americans and Interfaith citizens to celebrate the occasion of Ayodhya Ram Mandir Inauguration. The organization participated in numerous celebrations across the United States.
The United States celebrated the occasion with car rallies, Deepotsav, and festivities in over a thousand temples that included bhajans, kirtans, and special poojas.
Over 60 car rallies and Tesla light shows were held across 21 states, with devotees of Lord Ram participating. Car rallies took place in various metro areas, including Seattle, Houston, and other cities.
Sacramento hosted a "padayatra," where parents and kids joined a procession carrying images of Lord Ram, chanting "Jai Shri Ram" . To commemorate the opening of the Ram Mandir, more than 550 Hindu American students from 108 colleges and high schools joined virtually. An educational exhibition with the theme "Ramayana Around the World" was held in New Jersey with the participation of HSS volunteers.
The Ram Temple's inauguration in Ayodhya was lauded by many leaders, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, author David Frawley, Congressman Dr. Rich McCormick, and American Hindu Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati.
Mayor Adams called the event important for Hindus, while David Frawley regarded it a "civilizational revival." Interfaith leaders in Houston and San Antonio also participated in the celebrations, reflecting the multicultural and inclusive spirit of the event.
