Fact Check
NewsMeter found that the image is morphed and the claim is false.
We ran a keyword search about Lord Ram’s image being projected on Burj Khalif but could not find any news reports from credible media organisations.
Next, we checked the official Facebook and Instagram accounts of Burj Khalif but did not find any such posts or updates.
On performing a reverse image search, we found the original image on the image stock websites iStock and Adobe Stock. However, it did not show Lord Ram’s images on the Burj Khalifa. The original image was published in February 2016.

Here is the comparison of the original image and the morphed image.
Hence, we conclude that the viral image is morphed and the claim is false.
