The inauguration of the Ram Temple is a momentous occasion for Hindus all over the world. It is a culmination of a long and arduous struggle that has lasted for centuries. The temple is seen as a symbol of Hindu faith and culture, and its inauguration will be a day of celebration for millions of Hindus.
The History of Ayodhya
Ayodhya is an ancient city that has been mentioned in Hindu scriptures for centuries. It is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu. According to the Ramayana, Rama was born in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya. He was the eldest of four brothers, and he was destined to become king.
However, Rama’s life was not without its challenges. His stepmother, Kaikeyi, tricked his father into exile, and Rama was forced to leave Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana. They spent 14 years in exile, living in the forest and fighting demons.
Finally, Rama returned to Ayodhya and was crowned king. He ruled Ayodhya for many years, and his reign is remembered as a time of peace and prosperity. After his death, Rama was succeeded by his sons, and Ayodhya remained a prosperous kingdom for centuries.
However, in the 16th century, Ayodhya was invaded by the Mughals. The Mughals destroyed many Hindu temples, including the original Ram Temple. In its place, they built a mosque, which was known as the Babri Masjid.
The Babri Masjid remained standing for centuries, but in 1992, it was demolished by a mob of Hindu nationalists. The demolition of the Babri Masjid sparked a wave of violence across India, and it led to a long and bitter legal battle between Hindus and Muslims.
In 2020, the Supreme Court finally ruled in favour of the Hindus, granting them the right to build a temple at the disputed site. The construction of the Ram Temple began soon after, and it is now nearing completion.
