Ayodhya, the Uttar Pradesh town situated on the banks of Saryu, is set to witness the seven-day rituals of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ or consecration ceremony of the Ram temple, that begins on Tuesday. The rituals will culminate on January 22 with the grand ceremony that will be presided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attended by thousands of VVIP guests.

The construction of the Ram temple began after the Supreme Court had settled the decades long dispute on the site in November 2019, paving the way for its construction.

Among those who accompanied the then BJP president was Narendra Modi, now the prime minister.
