Ram Mandir ‘Bhoomi pujan’ 

Eight months after the Supreme Court verdict paving the way for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya's Ram Janmabhoomi, PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the temple on Wednesday. He arrived at the site after offering prayers at the Hanuman Garhi Temple in Ayodhya. PM Modi called the day as an "emotional moment" for the country and added that "every heart is illuminated today”.

In the Bhoomi Pujan, nine bricks sent by devotees from across the world were laid for the temple in Ayodhya as a groundbreaking ceremony was held at Ram Janmabhoomi. Notably, soil from more than 2,000 pilgrimage sites and water from more than 100 sacred rivers were used in the rituals.
