ayodhya ram mandir

The wait of centuries has ended and India is creating a golden chapter in Ayodhya. Ram mandir is the inception of the awaking of indigenous civilization and the milestone for Hindu struggle. India's 500-year-old civilisational struggle for reclaiming Ram Janmabhumi ended with Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing Bhoomi pujan for the construction of Grand Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on August 5th, 2020. Ram Janmabhumi Mandir at Ayodhya will be built by the "Shilpis" and "Sthapatis" of Sompura caste of Gujarat. Sompura sthapatis are well versed in ancient Maru Gurjarat sthapatya Shaili of western India. It is only surviving variant of ancient Nagara architectural tradition of North India. As such new temple will be much closer in look to the original one destroyed by Babur. The Architect of Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, Shri Chandrakant Sompura 77ys old, comes from a family of temple architects from Ahmedabad. The original design was prepared by Sompura ji in 1889.He was asked to design Ram Mandir by Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) President Ashok Singhal ji 30 yrs ago. In 1989 nobody was allowed to the site & there was strict security. He had accompained by Singhal ji to the site with no equipment, he used his feet to measure the dimensions of the site. Now the temple project is handled by his sons Nikhil and Ashish under his guidance. The family has designed more than 200 such great temples including Somnath temple, Akhshardham, Birla Mandir Kolkata. The Ram Mandir will retain its original plan of "Nagara Style" of temple design but the size will be double now. Construction of the temple after waiting five centuries, in Ayodhya Ram birth place is the beginning of a new era, "Ram Rajya is Coming". Ram mandir will be the manifestation of divinity and grandeur. It would not only be a religious place but also a place which depicts the great history, sacrifice and culture to the whole world. Ayodhya Ram Mandir will be The Modern Symbol of Our Tradition and also the symbol of unity and peace.

ayodhya ram birth place

Ram birth place is also known as Ram janmabhoomi. This place is known to be the birthplace of Lord Ram, Ram believed to be the seventh author of Vishnu. No one knows that when Ram was born some says Ram is timeless and some says Ram was born 7,000 years ago in the pre-bronze age which is stone age as per historical but for me it was a period of a fabulous Indian culture one that the world's archeologist have yet to discover. Until they do it remains a matter of faith we do not get any information of Ram from Vedas or Upnishad. Our earliest source of the Valmiki Ramayan. Ram story slightly different from Valmiki is narrative is told by sages of Pandavas in the Mahabharata to confirming that Ram lived long before Krishna but when exactly no one is still sure about when lord Rama was born Hindu believe that lord Rama was actually born in Ayodhya. Ayodhya is regarded as one of the seven sacred cities of the Hindus. The Ramayana says that the location of Rama's birthplace is on the banks of the "Sarayu River" in a city called Ayodhya. Great Indian epic poem Ramayana tells about the birth of Rama and with the rule of his father, Dasharatha. The town was prosperous and well fortified and had a large population. Hindus in India claim that the exact site of Rama's birthplace is where the Babri Masjid once stood in the present-day Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. According to this theory, the Mugals demolished a Hindu temple that marked the spot, and constructed a mosque in its place. People opposed to this theory state that such claims arose only in the 18th century, and that there is no evidence for the spot being the birthplace of Rama. The political, historical and socio-religious debate over the history and location of the Babri Mosque, and whether a previous temple was demolished or modified to create it, is known as the Ayodhya dispute. In 1992, the demolition of the Babri Mashid triggered Hindu nationalist increased the Hindu-Muslim violence. Still there are so many places, in other parts of India, Afghanistan, and Nepal, claims to be as birthplaces of Rama. On the case of Ayodhya their are five judges Supreme Court heard the dispute cases from August to October 2019. On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the land to be handed over to a trust to build the Hindu temple. It also ordered to the government to give alternate 5 acre land to Sunni Waqf Board to build the mosque. On 5 February 2020, the trust known as Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra was created by the Government of India. The trust will oversee the construction of the Ram Mandir. The foundation stone for construction of the temple was laid on 5 August 2020 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

ayodhya importance

The legendary city of Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Rama, setting an epic of Ramyana. It is regarded as one of the seven most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Ayodhya was stated to be the capital of the ancient Kosala kingdom in the Ramayana. Thus, it was also referred to as "Kosala". The word "Ayodhya" is formed from derivation of the Sanskrit verb 'yudh' which means "to fight, to wage war". The initial 'a' is the negative prefix: the whole, therefore, means "not to be fought". Saketa" is the older name for the city. The Adi Purana states that Ayodhya is called Saketa "because of its magnificent buildings which had significant banners as their arms". Ayodhya has a humid subtropical climate, typical of central India. As of the 2011 India census, Ayodhya had a population of 55,890. Males constituted 56.7% of the population and females 43.3%. Ayodhya had an average literacy rate of 78.1%. The mythical place that came to be identified with the present-day Ayodhya only during the Gupta period around the 4th-5th century AD. In 1992, it lead to the demolition of Babri masjid mosque by Hindu mobs with the aim to replace it with a temple of Rama. It is believed that the birth spot of Rama was marked by a temple, which is said to have been demolished by the orders of the Mughal emperor Babur and a disputed mosque erected in its place. The Ayodhya dispute concerns activism by Hindu groups to rebuild a grand temple of Rama at the site of Janmabhoomi. The five judges of the Supreme Court bench heard the title dispute cases from August to October 2019. On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, vacated the previous decision and ruled that the land belonged to the government per tax records. It further ordered the land to be handed over to a trust to build the Hindu temple. It also ordered the government to give alternate 5 acre land to Sunni Waqf Board to build the mosque. The early Buddhist and Jain clerical texts mention that the religious leaders Gautama Buddha and Mahavira visited and lived in the city. The Jain texts also describe it as the birthplace of five tirthankaras namely, Rishabhanatha, Ajitanatha, Abhinandananatha, Sumatinath and Anantnath, and associate it with the legendary chakravartins. From the Gupta period onwards, several sources mention Ayodhya and Saketa as the name of the same city. For the proposed Ram temple in Ram Janmabhoomi, the Bhoomi Pooja and the Foundation Stone laying were performed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 5th August, 2020. Ayodhya was beautifully decorated and illuminated by the residents with earthen lamps on that auspicious day.

ayodhya august 5

The date 5 August, obviously is very important for the Hindus as the historical Bhoomi Pujan was organised for Ram Temple on that very day. With the Ram mandir to be built in the next three years, that is why Bhoomi Pujan was necessary inspite of the ongoing pandemic. Also, the day became more special with the arrival of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ayodhya for the auspicious Bhoomi Pujan. On August 5, the much awaited Bhoomi Pujan for the Ayodhya temple was attended by Bharatiya Janata Party and Sangh parivar leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Governor Anandiben Patel, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat, Baba Ramdev, BJP national vice-president Uma Bharti and Ram temple trust president Nritya Gopal Das. The last two are facing trial for their role in the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid. The Bhoomi Pujan was a "grand, symbolic" affair and broadcasted through TV all over the country. A special Diwali was celebrated in Ayodhya to mark the event, illuminated with earthen lamps and colourful lights. While only about 200 guests present at the foundation laying programme, the trust has ordered for 100,000 packets of prasad for distribution among devotees. The trust's general secretary, Champat Rai, has appealed to the people not to come to Ayodhya in large numbers on August 5, as there are curbs due to the pandemic. He said a grand programme would be held once the covid crisis is over. August 5 also happens to be the anniversary of the Modi government's other landmark decision of virtual abrogation of Article 370 in J&K. August 5, 2020 marks the final demise of an old political consensus and the beginning of a new journey for the nation, the contours of which have been worked upon by the Sangh for decades now.

ayodhya and babri masjid case

One of the most fiercely fought battle in the history of Indian judiciary is considered to be ram mandir and baburi masjid dispute. The belief came into currency since 1813–14, when the East India Company's surveyor Francis Buchanan reported that he found an inscription on the mosque walls which attested to this fact. He also recorded the local tradition, which believed that emperor Aurangzeb (1658–1707) built the mosque after demolishing a temple dedicated to Rama. The mosque there, the Babri Masjid, was destroyed during a political rally which turned into a riot on 6 December 1992 case was lodged in the Allahabad High Court, the verdict of which was pronounced on 30 September 2010. In the judgment, the three judges of the Allahabad High Court ruled that the 2.77 acres (1.12 ha) of Ayodhya land be divided into three parts, 1/3rd will be allotted for mandir, 1/3rd for the mosque and the remaining 1/3rd for the akhara performance and practice by the Hindu. Five judges Supreme Court bench heard the dispute cases for a quiet a time period from August to October 2019. On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, announced the verdict of the apex court; it voided the previous decision and it further ordered the land to be handed over to a trust to build the Hindu temple. It also ordered the government to give an alternate five-acre of land to the Sunni Waqf Board to build the mosque.

The Ayodhya Dispute is a political, historical, and socio-religious debate in India, centred on a plot of land in the city of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The issues revolve around the control of a site traditionally regarded among Hindus to be the birthplace of their deity Rama, the history and location of the Babri Madjid at the site, and whether a previous Hindu temple was demolished or modified to create a mosque. On 5 July 2005, five terrorists attacked the makeshift Ram temple at the site of destroyed Babri Mosque in Ayodhya, India.
