Actually, it is not something that has started in the last year or decade. The controversy surrounding the temple dates back to the 16th century when the Babri Masjid was constructed on the site believed by Hindus to be the birthplace of Lord Ram.
Tensions escalated in the 20th century, culminating in the demolition of the mosque in 1992 by kar sevaks, leading to widespread communal violence. The legal battle over the site endured for decades. In 2019, the Supreme Court of India delivered a historic verdict, granting the disputed land to Hindus for the construction of the Ram temple. Simultaneously, an alternative parcel of land was allocated to Muslims for the construction of a mosque.
Ever since, the construction of Ram Mandir has been going on in full speed. People have been waiting to worship Lord Ram in, what is believed to be, his birthplace. The consecration or Pran-Pratistha ceremony of Shri Ram Lalla at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya will be held on January 22, 2024, which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A large number of people are expected to descend in Ayodhya close to the consecration ceremony, and the city is getting decked up for the big day.
The Pran-Pratistha ceremony will take place at 12:20pm on January 22. The Ram temple inauguration ceremony is likely to see over 7,000 guests from India and overseas. Over a lakh devotees are expected to reach Ayodhya for the ceremony. The preparations are being made in such a way to accommodate as many devotees as possible, without causing any discomfort to them.
