Ram's statue will be dedicated today, marking the start of the Ram-janmbhoomi movement and the opening of a temple in Ayodhya, the god's birthplace, a watershed in India's political and historical affairs.
 
A day before the event, Ayodhya was marked with festive anticipation and revelry by devotees, with men in fatigues from the state police force, CRPF and Rapid Action Force spread across the town in varying intensities. Lata Chowk and the road leading to the Hanumangari temple witnessed the thickest crowds of devotees. The road leading to the Ram temple was cordoned off, as per economic times.
 
On January 22, outsiders will not be allowed to enter the house unless they are present or have a valid permit. In the temple, on the sixth day before, the idol of Ram Lalla is washed with the water of 114 Kalash (urns).
 
The idols were bathed in mineral water and water brought from places of pilgrimage in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate today..
