“The video of dhol performances at Ayodhya Ram Mandir shows Shivaji Jayanti celebrations at the temple.”
What FACTLY found
The video actually shows a Maharashtrian ‘Puneri Dhol Tasha’ performance from the Ayodhya Ram Mandir inauguration celebrations held in January 2024. While Chhatrapati Shivaji Jayanti was celebrated in various parts of India on 19 February 2025, there are no credible reports confirming its celebration at the temple.
