About Ayodhya — Birthplace of Lord Ram
The Janmabhoomi (birthplace) of Lord Ram — the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu — and one of the seven Mokshapuris of Sanatan Dharma (alongside Kashi, Mathura, Haridwar, Kanchi, Ujjain and Dwarka). The current Shri Ram Mandir, consecrated on 22 January 2024 after a five-century struggle and a 2019 Supreme Court verdict, is a three-storey Nagara-style temple of pink Bansi Paharpur sandstone, Karnataka granite and Makrana marble; the inner sanctum houses the 51-inch Ram Lalla murti carved in Krishna Shila by Arun Yogiraj, designed so that the Surya Tilak — a sunlight beam — falls on the deity's forehead at noon every Ram Navami.
