Ram Mandir
Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi history is centuries old and is built on the site that is believed to be the Janmabhoomi or the birthplace of Lord Ram, an incarnation of Vishnu and one of the most admired Hindu deities. In the 16th century, the Mughal emperor Babar demolished the temple and built a mosque in its place. The mosque, known as the Babri Masjid, stood on the Ram Mandir site for centuries. In 1992, it was demolished by Hindu nationalists triggering communal tensions and widespread violence in the country.
The Mandir-Masjid dispute revolved around the ownership of the site and hence the Ayodhya location dispute has been controversial in Indian politics for decades.
In the year 2019, the dispute was finally settled by the Supreme Court of India, which ruled in favour of the construction of a Ram Mandir on the site. A trust was formed by the Indian government, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra to oversee the construction of the temple.
