Introduction

Rama, who is thought to be the seventh manifestation of the Hindu deity Vishnu, is said to have been born at the location known as Ram Janmabhoomi, which translates to "Birthplace of Rama." According to the Ramayana, Rama was born at a city known as "Ayodhya" on the Sarayu River's banks. Ayodhya now is located in the Uttar Pradesh state of northern India.

Widespread Hindu-Muslim violence broke out in 1992 after Hindu nationalists destroyed the Babri Masjid. The property was the subject of a legal issue that made it to the Indian Supreme Court, which heard cases involving title disputes from August to October 2019. The Supreme Court mandated that the site be given to a trust so that it can erect a Hindu temple by November 9th, 2019

Opening Date

According to Mr. Rai, Lord Ram should be seated in the sanctum sanctorum by the Makar Sankranti festival in January 2024, with the temple's construction slated to be finished by December 2023.

Historical Background:

The Ayodhya Ram Mandir is believed to be built at the birthplace of Lord Ram, considered to be the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. The origins of this sacred site trace back to ancient times when Ayodhya was the capital of the mighty Kosala Kingdom. According to the epic Hindu scripture, the Ramayana, Lord Ram was born to King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya in Ayodhya.

Dispute at Ayodhya

On December 6, 1992, the Babri Masjid was demolished during a political rally, sparking rioting across the Indian subcontinent. Many prior attempts were unsuccessful, and one of them resulted in the 1990 Ayodhya gunfire incident.

A further land title case was brought before the Allahabad High Court, and on September 30, 2010, the court issued its decision. Ayodhya's 2.77 acres (1.12 ha) of land will be divided into three portions, with one third going to the Ram Lalla or Infant Rama, as represented by the Vishva Hindu Parishad receives one-third, the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board receives one-third, and Nirmohi Akhara, a Hindu religious institution, receives the remaining third.

 During site excavation, the Archaeological Survey of India discovered temple ruins, which were eventually presented as proof before the Indian Supreme Court.

The Indian government announced on February 5th, 2020, that a trust called Shri Ram Janmabhoomi TeerthKshetra would be in charge of rebuilding a Ram temple there.Additionally, it designated a different location in Dhannipur, Ayodhya for the construction of a mosque to replace the Babri Masjid, which was destroyed in 1992.

 Babri Masjid (Mosque of Babur)

Babur, the first Mughal emperor of India, established the Mughal empire. The Babri Masjid (also known as "Babur's Mosque") is thought to have been constructed in 1528 on his orders by one of his generals, Mir Baqi. The East India Company's surveyor Francis Buchanan said that he discovered an inscription on the mosque walls that attested to this reality in 1813–1814, which gave rise to the widespread notion. He also documented the local legend that the mosque was constructed by emperor Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707) following the destruction of a Rama temple.

The construction of a mosque at Ayodhya or the destruction of a temple for it are not mentioned in Babur's painstakingly detailed life journal, The Baburnama.Neither do his contemporaneous Hindu poet-saint Tulsidas' epic poem Ramcharitmanas, which is devoted to the Hindu god Rama, nor his grandson Akbar's court documents, the Ain-i-Akbari.

The "mosque-temple" is reported to have been a place of prayer for both Muslims and Hindus, with Hindus praying outside the mosque but still inside the courtyard. To avoid disagreements, a British governor had a railing built between the two districts in 1857. The argument began in 1949, following India's independence, when a Ram idol was erected within the mosque.
