Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will visit the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh after January 22.
He told mediapersons in Shivamogga on January 12 that he is a devotee of Lord Ram. “We are also devotees of Sri Rama, but do not use his name for political gains. We are opposing the politics being done by the BJP in the name of Ram.”
The CM plans to visit Ayodhya after the inauguration of the temple on January 22. “I will visit the temple in Ayodhya whenever I am free after the January 22 event,” he said.
The CM said that Congress workers will visit temples across Karnataka on January 22, and offer prayers to Lord Ram.

Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
