Upon checking the phrase, ‘Shri Ram’ on Google trends where we found that this chant was a popular trend in April 2021. We found that there was a high use of this phrase in April due to the Bengal Assembly Elections in 2021. However, after the election results we found that there was a decline in the trend.

Next, we search for the interaction of the phrase ‘Shri Ram’ in Hindi Devanagari Script on CrowdTangle and found that the previous year there was 891342644 interactions on Facebook in English and Hindi. 

Conclusion-

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral image on social media to be False.
