Let's take a look at PM Modi's schedule for January 22.

With just two days to go for the consecration ceremony, the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya has been decorated with rich stocks of flowers and special lights for the mega event and the entire temple town is soaked in religious fervour.
The new 51-inch idol of Ram Lalla, carved by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj, was placed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple on Thursday afternoon.
The Supreme Court delivered a historic verdict in 2019, settling the emotive temple-mosque dispute that dated back more than a century and paving the way for the construction of Ram temple.
While building the Ram temple in Ayodhya has been a part of the core agenda of the BJP, the ruling dispensation has projected the event as a moment of pride when the country will redeem its ancient roots.
