First Ram Temple inaugurated in Mexico, American priest performs consecration ceremony
Miles away from the Indian town of Ayodhya where the consecration ceremony of Ram Temple was held on Monday in the presence of PM Narendra Modi, another temple dedicated to the Hindu deity was established in the Mexican city of Queretaro.
An American priest conducted the consecration ceremony on Sunday in the presence of a large number of Indian diaspora members who chanted hymns and sang devotional songs to mark the occasion in the country.
According to reports, the idol was brought from India.
