Claim
On the day of the Ram Mandir consecration, bhajans, kirtans and Ramayana recitations were held in more than 500,000 temples across the country.

Rationale
Central assertion — that bhajans, kirtans and Ramayana recitations were held in temples nationwide on consecration day — is well-supported by the trust's explicit nationwide appeal and coverage. The specific '5 lakh (500,000) temples' magnitude is not independently sourced but is not contradicted by any source and is consistent with a mass nationwide appeal; treated as a rhetorical figure atop an accurate core claim.
