Earlier on August 5, Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed Bhoomi Pujan for Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.

He also performed 'pooja' at Hanumangarhi and Shri Ramlala Virajman. The PM also unveiled a plaque to mark the laying of the foundation stone and released commemorative postage stamp on Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir.

Last year in November, a five-judge bench had unmously ruled in favour of Ram Lalla and said the entire disputed land spread over 2.7 acres will be handed over to a trust formed by the government, which will monitor the construction of a Ram temple at the site.

The top court also added that an alternative five acres of land at a prominent location in Ayodhya should be allotted for the construction of a mosque following consultation between the Centre and the state government.
