In a significant development, Mexico welcomed its first Lord Ram Temple in the city of Queretaro on Sunday, a day before the grand pran-pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of Lord Ram Lalla in the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Bharat. The consecration ceremony in Mexico, attended by the Indian diaspora, was led by an American priest, and the temple was later inaugurated for devotees.
The idols enshrined in the newly constructed temple were brought all the way from India, enhancing the cultural connection between the two nations. The Bharat Embassy in Mexico shared the joyous news on social media, announcing that Queretaro now hosts both the first Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman temples in Mexico.
