Hindu Nav Varsh 2026 will be celebrated with grandeur at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Complex in Ayodhya on March 19, 2026 (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, Vikram Samvat 2083). The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has formally invited President of India, Droupadi Murmu, to attend the event as the chief guest.
A delegation of trustees visited New Delhi to personally hand over the invitation letter to the President. The delegation was led by Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, along with Treasurer Swami Govind Dev Giri, Chairman of the Temple Construction Committee and Trustee Nripendra Mishra, and Trustee Krishna Mohan.
Ram Temple Trust to Honor ‘Karmayogis’
During the Hindu New Year (Nav Samvatsar) ceremony, the Trust has decided to honor the karmayogis—engineers, craftsmen, laborers, and contributors—who played a vital role in the construction of the Ram Temple and other projects within the Ram Janmabhoomi complex.
An initial list of around 400 contributors has been prepared, though the number may increase as more individuals are being identified.
Large-Scale organization with 4,000 Guests
Approximately 4,000 guests will be invited to the grand ceremony. The guest list will include:
- Ram Temple movement volunteers (karsevaks)
- Senior and dedicated workers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
- Members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)
Earlier, a meeting was held at Karsevakpuram to finalize the event’s framework, during which it was unanimously decided to invite President Droupadi Murmu as the chief guest. After receiving approval from Rashtrapati Bhavan, the trustees traveled to Delhi to formally extend the invitation.
Trustee Nripendra Mishra confirmed that the invitation has been accepted and expressed confidence that the President will attend the ceremony.
Second Visit of President Murmu to Ayodhya
This will be President Droupadi Murmu’s second visit to Ayodhya. She previously visited the holy city on May 1, 2024, when she offered prayers at the Ram Temple, Hanuman Garhi, and performed aarti at the Saryu River.
During the upcoming visit, her itinerary is expected to include:
- Darshan and worship at the Ram Temple
- Participation in Ram Lalla’s aarti
- Flag hoisting at one of the auxiliary temples
- Honoring the temple construction contributors (karmayogis)
The Hindu New Year celebration in Ayodhya is expected to be a landmark spiritual and cultural event, reinforcing the city’s growing significance on the national and global religious map.
