Stating that she is ‘feeling sad’ for not being in India physically for the Ram Temple’s Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, African-American actor and singer Mary Millben said that she will “celebrate Diwali” on January 22. The Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram Lalla is scheduled to begin at 12.30 pm on Monday.

I am sad that I won’t be in India physically for the ceremony, but I will certainly be celebrating it. What’s the most beautiful thing about this ceremony is that it is a moment where all people will come together to celebrate, and that’s the beauty of faith…”
