Earlier, CM Yogi offered prayers at Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya.
According to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which is in charge of the construction of the temple, the sanctum sanctorum is expected to be completed by December 2023.
The construction of Lord Ram’s temple in Ayodhya is progressing quickly. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Ram temple on August 5, 2020, and work on the temple has continued since then.
On November 9, 2019, a five-judge Supreme Court Constitution bench led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi (since retired) unanimously ruled that the land in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid once stood belongs to Ram Lala.
