Grand opening on January 22

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22. The trust, entrusted with the building of the temple, has sent out invitations to as many as 8000 people from across the country. 

The temple town has been converted into a security fortress, with massive checks in place. Even though the consecration will see the light of day a few days from now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged the devotees not to rush to the temple on the day of inauguration. 

Last week, when he was in Ayodhya to inaugurate a refurbished railway station and the international airport, he also oversaw the preparations, in the presence of Yodi Adityanath.
