Ayodhya gears up for Ram Temple inauguration today

A mood of festivity has gripped Ayodhya where celebrities and politicians have assembled for the consecration ceremony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present in Ayodhya to lead the celebration.

Ayodhya has been turned into a fortress as tight security arrangements have been made ahead of the consecration ceremony.

The town witnessed violence in 1992 when a mob destroyed a 16th-century mosque which stood at the site, which was once a Hindu temple of Lord Ram.

A major section of Hindus claimed that the site was the birthplace of Lord Ram before Muslim Mughals razed a temple at the spot to build the Babri Masjid.

In a landmark verdict in 2019, the Supreme Court handed over the land to the Hindu community and ordered to allot a separate plot to Muslims.
