Celebrations in Ayodhya for the grand opening of the Ram temple will begin in December 2023. For the first time since the construction of the Ram Mandir began in August 2020, the temple trust and the state government are planning grand Ram Navami celebrations in the city.
The Supreme Court in a late 2019 judgement paved the way for the construction of the temple with an order that put an end to a decades-long movement. The construction of the temple has been a constant in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto since 1996.
