Thousands of Indian devotees have visited a new temple to Hindu god Ram in Ayodhya city on Tuesday, a day after its opening.
The temple – which replaces a 16th-century mosque razed by Hindu mobs in 1992 – was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a grand ceremony on Monday. Top film stars and cricketers were among guests at the event.
Visuals from outside the temple showed thousands of devotees standing in long queues as they waited to enter the complex.
Only the ground floor of the temple is open at the moment – the rest of it is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
