Musk, who is currently on a six-day trip to India as the Global Advisor to Servotech Power Systems Ltd, arrived in the holy city accompanied by his daughter Alexandria Musk. His first stop: the iconic Ram Mandir, a spiritual and cultural symbol that has drawn pilgrims from across the world. The South African engineer and entrepreneur began his India tour on June 1 and is scheduled to stay until June 6, with a focus on supporting India's ambitious green energy and EV infrastructure goals. But before diving into meetings and engagements, Musk had one heartfelt intention—visiting the Ram Mandir and immersing himself in India's rich spiritual heritage. Outside the Ayodhya airport, Errol Musk was greeted by a flurry of media personnel and local officials. Speaking to reporters, he shared his admiration for the country and its people: "India is a wonderful place. As many people as possible should come to India. There are a lot of Indians in the country where I come from. So, I know the Indian culture.

Regular screenings of visitors and heightened vigilance around the temple complex have already been in place due to the ongoing influx of devotees.

Good step, west know the true centre of consciousness spirit."
