India inaugurates grand Hindu temple in ruins of centuries-old mosque

About 80 charter flights have descended on India's holy city of Ayodhya's new international airport for the partial opening of a magnificent temple to one of Hinduism's most revered deities, Lord Ram.

Ayodhya airport can hardly accommodate the influx of private jets. "The planes will take off after dropping off the guests," said airport manager Saurabh Singh.

The temple was built on a flattened mosque and most political opposition leaders have boycotted the opening of the temple, saying it is not befitting of a secular India.

However, in attendance are some of India's most influential people: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan.

The temple will be the holy abode of one of the most popular gods of the Hindu pantheon, Ram, who Hindus believe was born in Ayodhya.

Millions of Hindus worship Ram with a strong belief that chanting his name in times of adversity will bring peace and prosperity, and most who practice Hinduism keep idols of Ram in their homes. Major Hindu festivals such as Dussehra and Diwali are associated with mythological stories of Ram extolling the virtues of truth, sacrifice and ethical governance.

Ayodhya has been at the center of India's turbulent politics and the Hindu majority's quest to reclaim the country's religious past. Its diverse and multicultural past was overrun by fierce Hindu nationalism after mobs destroyed the 16th-century Babri Mosque in 1992.

The Hindus won a protracted legal battle in 2019, allowing them to build the temple. Hindus make up about 80% of India's population, but the country is also home to some 200 million Muslims, who have been frequently attacked by Hindu nationalists.
