NEW DELHI: In the fervour leading up to the inauguration of the grand Ram Mandir approaches on January 22, the air in Ayodhya is filled with devotion.

The lyrics, written by author Vishnu Sharma, were beautifully brought to life by singer Divya Kumar. The genesis of the song ‘Jai Shree Ram’ carries a fascinating story, He narrated, “There was a song which was going viral already on social media but nobody could trace the makers of it. Looking at that, Anu Malik also wanted to compose a viral song for the occasion of Pran Pratistha.”

He continued,” He composed the tune, and the song was also recorded, but according to the rules, the name of the writer of the song also had to be definite due to copyright issues. But despite all efforts, the name of the author could not be found. Anu sir then discussed the issue with me, and a solution was found that a new song should be given now and I was approached for that. While going to Constitution Club in Delhi, I parked my car at Vaishali metro station and wrote a new song with four stanzas on the same tune till Rajiv Chowk which took roughly 25 minutes. I then shared my lyrics with him and reworked them a bit on it.”
Expressing his joy, Sharma added, “The next day the song was ready. The next day the song was ready. We also tried to find out which was that viral song and who sang it, it became the inspiration for us to create something magical.”
The song’s composer, Anu, called the temple’s inauguration, an “important milestone for the country”. He added, “The dream of having a temple at Ram Janmabhoomi is going to be realised due to the centuries-long movement of crores of Ram devotees and the efforts of our honourable leaders Modi-Yogi, so I felt the need to contribute my efforts in this historic dream.”
