“अमित शाह 2021 में प्रभु श्री राम के दर्शन करने के लिए गए थे। प्रभु राम के मंदिर गए थे।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Wire and press reports confirm Amit Shah visited the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya on 31 December 2021, where he offered prayers to Lord Ram (darshan of Ram Lalla at the then under-construction temple site) and inspected construction. The claim that he went for darshan at the Ram temple in 2021 is therefore accurate; the only minor caveat is that the temple was still under construction at the time.
