"IndiGo's Inaugural Flight to Ayodhya's New Airport Celebrated with Cake, Cheers, and 'Jai Shri Ram'"

IndiGo's inaugural flight to Ayodhya, soon after the city's airport was inaugurated by PM Modi, was dubbed "Pushpak vimaan" by passengers, referencing the mythological flying chariot from the Ramayana. Devotees from across India joined the flight, some carrying holy items, and chanted religious hymns, creating an electric atmosphere. Despite some passengers regretting paying higher fares due to early booking, the spiritual significance of the journey to the birthplace of Lord Ram and the first Tirthankar Rishabh Dev Ji overshadowed the cost concerns. Regular flights to Ayodhya by IndiGo and Air India Express are set to commence from January 6, connecting the city with major Indian metros.

"Mexican Faithful Unite to Commemorate Virgin of Guadalupe's Apparition Anniversary"

Thousands of faithful gathered at Mexico City's Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe to honor the Virgin on the 492nd anniversary of her apparition in 1531. Over five million people visited the Basilica during the days leading up to the celebration, with many walking long distances or riding bicycles and buses to reach the site. Tragically, three pilgrims were killed and ten others injured in a road accident while traveling to the Basilica. Despite the challenges, pilgrims remained undeterred, carrying flowers and large paintings of the Virgin as they made their way to the Basilica. The Virgin of Guadalupe is a significant figure in Mexican culture, and people from around the world came to pray and witness the devotion of the Mexican faithful.
