Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated a grand mandir of Hindu Lord Ram in Ayodhya. The mandir was built on the site of the 16th-century Babri Masjid, which was demolished by a Hindu mob in 1992.
The inauguration ceremony of the mandir was a grand affair, attended by a huge crowd. Modi said at the ceremony that the construction of the mandir was a historic moment for India. He said the mandir is “a symbol for all Indians”.
The mandir was built by the Hindu religious organization Ram Janmabhoomi Trust. The Trust has estimated the cost of constructing the temple at Rs 591 crore. The mandir is 500 feet long, 300 feet wide and 221 feet high. It has a huge sanctum sanctorum, in which an idol of Lord Rama is installed.
After the inauguration of the mandir, people of the Hindu community expressed happiness and enthusiasm. They set off fireworks and took out processions in the areas around the mandir.
The inauguration of the mandir has also raised fears of increasing religious polarization in India. Some Muslim groups have opposed the construction of the mandir, calling it a move that will stoke communal tensions in India.
